Wikipedia plans to offer open source video
,----[ Quote ]
| STANDARDS ADVOCATE the Open Video Alliance
| has got behind a campaign to enrich Wikipedia
| articles with video.
|
| Wikipedia walks a lonely path in supporting
| Theora, an open format which is in contention
| to be incorporated into HTML5's video tag.
| This goes against the popular Flash encoded
| video 'standard' used by sites such as
| Youtube.

| The OVA's members include open video platform
| company Kaltura, Yale's Information Society
| Project, Mozilla, and the Participatory
| Culture Foundation (PCF). To get the party
| started, the PCF is making available a new
| software tool for Windows and Mac OS X that
| can convert videos into the open Ogg Theora
| format. The OVA has rolled out a new website
| with simple instructions that describe how
| users can download the software and start
| participating in the campaign.

Will Open Source Video Finally Kill Adobe Flash? Steve Jobs May Be Sorry What He Wished For
,----[ Quote ]
| All the buzz is that HTML5 will signal the
| death knell for Adobe Flash. Many would say
| good riddance, especially Apple's Steve Jobs,
| whose steadfast refusal to support the
| technology has left many iPhone users with a
| crippled web browsing experience (including
| this blogger). But Jobs should be careful of
| what he wishes for. The eventual winner of
| the HTML5 video standards debate could be an
| open source standard. This will leave Jobs
| and his black box, closed system henchman in
| Cupertino in a bind.

W3C to Microsoft - follow the process
,----[ Quote ]
| In a posting on W3C blog, Ian Jacobs, Head of
| W3C Communications, has taken up Microsoft's
| offer and invited the company to create an
| "Incubator Group" for the specification.
| Incubator groups do not produce standards,
| but the W3C community can decide later on
| whether or not to move the API onto the W3C
| Recommendation Track.
|
| Jacobs says that "Incubator Groups can smooth
| the transition from 'good idea' to 'widely
| deployed standard available Royalty-Free'".
| He also pointed out that the invitation was
| "not just for Microsoft" and that the W3C is
| interested in data access APIs adding "If
| you're working on an API and it has 'data' in
| the name, I encourage you to build community
| support in a W3C Incubator Group."

| Wondering whether your browser supports the
| HTML5 audio and video tags? Check out the "Video
| for Everybody" test page, and the HTML5 <audio>
| and Audio() Support Tester page, linked off of
| JÃgenstedt's blog. The audio test page gives a
| full rundown of what audio encodings your
| browser supports, and provides tests. The video
| test page embeds a video using the video element
| from HTML5. If you're using a modern browser,
| you should be able to see video there.
