Digital Rapids just announced the release of a On2 VP6 encoding module which works with its Digital Rapids Stream family of media encoding solutions.
Digital Rapids' products usually consist of a hardware and software bundle (such as a capture card and encoding software) aimed at Video Professionals. Adding On2 VP6 to their products essentially introduces Flash Video (and in particular live) streaming to users who are more familiar with tyraditional streaming technologies such as Windows Media or Real. The offering is the first alternative to Flix 8 Live which has so far been the only tool to stream VP6 based Flash Video live.

From the press release: "The optional On2 VP6 support is integrated throughout the Stream systems' robust workflow and feature set. Content can be encoded to VP6 while simultaneously encoding to other formats, and processing such as graphic overlay can be applied. Live content can also be archived to file in VP6 and other formats seamlessly during live Flash Video streaming. Based on On2's workstation-level licensing structure, Digital Rapids' On2 VP6 module includes distribution rights for content created with the VP6 codec, allowing customers to distribute VP6-encoded material professionally without additional licensing fees."
So no more excuses, ok? ;-)
