eZ is the Dream Solution for Web MM.
eZ developers stay current with mulimedia advancements. *.mov files work well for HD on the web. To use mov format instead of flash, choose quicktime instead of flash when creating new content. See Sports-Tool-HD below for an example. HD requires bandwidth, don't bother clicking the link on a phone connection. The wait is a minute or two on a 1.5mb dsl connection.
EZ works with the release version of silverlight as of June 2009, see the July webportalmaster newsletter for details.
