Phanfare today announced expanded video capabilities for its Web photo sharing site and an update to its Phanfare Photo client software to take advantage of the new features.
Video sharing now converts more video formats to Flash 8 using a new video converter. Newly supported formats include WMV and most modern QuickTime codecs. The new Flash 8 output provides improved streaming. "We have gone back and converted all videos that previously failed to convert," CEO Andew Erlichson said.

New versions of Phanfare Photo have also been released for the Mac (improved uploader, stats support and bug fixes) and Windows to support the new video features.
Phanfare hosted much of our PMA coverage, BTW, where the new video conversion technology got plenty of work.
