Free Open Source Standards Based Video Ad Delivery (BETA)

If you are looking to deliver video ads to your website using open source technologies or to produce a 'IAB VAST compliant' video player then this is the project for you.

The project delivers the components necessary to support IAB standard's compliant Video Ad delivery using open source advertising and player technologies such as OpenX, Flowplayer and Longtail Video's JW Player. If you have a custom player implementation, you can use the AS3 VAST framework to integrate OpenX video advertising into your player.

Pre, mid, post instream video ads, overlay and companion ads are all supported.
