Jared,
I can see why you'd say that the JW player is more powerful since it offers audio description and sign language toggling for users and that would need to be added to Adobe's FLVPlayback player, but is that also the basis for the 'most accessible' part of your comment for the player? I want to make sure that the FLVPlayback/FLVPlaybackCaptioning components are as accessible as they can be, and I believe that for the features that it has (e.g. not AD or Sign lang) that it is as accessible as anything out there or more so.

What else are you seeing?

Thanks,
AWK

The JW FLV Player
(http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/) is the most
accessible and powerful player that I've seen.
