Works exactly as expected. Easy to install. Easy to use. You can link to K2 items and tags from the Advanced Link Manager in JCE 2.

I needed a way to easily implement HTML5 video in our articles with a good fallback to Flash so we bought the licensed version of JW Player. I am very happy with the product.
Performance - works almost perfectly. Serves up standard def and hi-def video on desktops.
Works on Apple devices and Android devices almost flawlessly (small resize issue with Apple devices)
Falls back to Flash player exactly as expected.
Supoprt - Haven't needed it because of the very detailed documentation and forums.
Functions much like other video plugins (like AllVideos or AllVideos Reloaded). I haven't used the module because I am putting all our video content into articles via the plugin. So if you have any experience calling a plugin from within an article, you can use JW Player.
This next comment has nothing to do with the product but I feel it is important to note:
You have to encode your video properly if you want to move to HTML5. No player/plugin will work if your video isn't sized and encoded properly.

For doing exactly what it says it will do, I give it an excellent rating.
It will search your content (articles) and make simple changes, no wildcards or anything fancy. If you have hardcoded links you need to change sitewide, this is the tool for you. If you moved all your images from one folder to a different one, this is the tool for you.
Honestly, its a little scary to use. BACKUP first! After that, cross your fingers and hope it works because the tool does not prompt you with the results of your search before making the replacements. However, I am not going to rate it poorly because it doesn't do this. It would be fantastic if it did though!

Easy to use and works exactly as expected.
1. Make a new K2 content module and pick the items or categories to power the FAQ.
2. Install and enable the 2 plugins from Core Design
3. Include this in your article {faq moduleid="XX"} where XX is the K2 content module ID
Beautiful templates (uses jQuery UI ThemeRoller)
Even works in evil IE6!
Very clear documentation.
Can't get any better than this. I'm a big fan of MooFAQ but it doesn't work with K2. So I tried Core Design FAQ. Just fantastic.

Great tool. Just publish it in the very bottom position in your template.

Very good component. Might not display all the articles in your categories (particularly if you are using the Subcategories Patch) but it appears easy to fix.
1 - Make certain all your Joomla categories have a proper SORT order (no Zeros in the Order column).
2 - In the component, under Category Order AND Article Order, pick something BESIDES "Default". Once I set the order to "Alphabetical", all my articles displayed properly.
