RefinedVideo is a custom Flash application developed exclusively by RefinedData to overcome these limitations. The tool enables easy inclusion of streaming video using the latest video codecs and compression technology with no size or bandwidth restrictions. Your video presentations can now be run in full-screen mode and can be of unlimited length.
