HTML5 video and codecs
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently, Vimeo and YouTube announced that they
| were moving to support the HTML5 video tag, as
| DailyMotion did last summer. This is an
| important step in making video a first-class
| citizen of the modern web, and that is great
| news. Unlike DailyMotion, however, Vimeo and
| YouTube chose to rely on the patented H.264
| video encoding, rather than an unencumbered
| encoding like Ogg Theora. This means that the
| <video> pages on those sites will not work with
| Firefox.

Better video quality with html 5
,----[ Quote ]
| The proprietary flash player has left alot to be
| desired for Linux and Apple users. Especially if
| you are running with accelerated 3d and with
| compiz fusion. Finally it is possible to watch
| youtube videos in html 5 format instead of the
| flash player. And I have found an easy way to
| take advantage of this new feature. This
| experience for me at least has been so much
| better. No more low quality jerky video, but
| instead with html 5 the video can be viewed in
| high definition and still be smooth.

| People are voting for Google to offer
| HTML5/Ogg video support on YouTube, in
| Google's own product ideas voting space.
|
| This piece of Ogg activism is getting some
| traffic on identi.ca and Twitter right now.
| If you haven't already, you should jump in.
|
| YouTube is, obviously, the largest source of
| videos in the world by far, so keeping
| pressure on Google to support web standards
| and free formats (over proprietary formats
| like Flash) is really important.
