Authored by Mark Hefflinger on August 21, 2007 - 1:00pm.

San Jose, Calif. - Adobe Systems on Tuesday introduced an update for its Flash Player 9 software -- which is used to deliver video on sites including YouTube and MySpace -- that integrates high-definition video using the H.264 codec and MPEG 4 standard.

The H.264 codec is the same standard used on high-definition Blu-ray and HD DVD media.

The beta version of Flash Player 9 with "Moviestar" is available today from the company's website, with a final release expected in the fall.
