Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
Vimeo started last week with a HTML5 beta test . They use the H.264 codec, probably because much of their content is already in this format through the Flash player. But what really surprised me was their claim that roughly 25% of their users will be able to make use of their HTML5 beta test.

Last night Google blogged about how they were experimenting with offering some videos on YouTube that support the HTML5 video tag and the H.264 codec, and that work in Chrome and Safari. This is part of TestTube, where YouTube’s engineers test out different products without rolling them into the main YouTube experience. YouTube and Flash obviously have a deep relationship. It was Flash that helped YouTube become one of the most visited sites on the Internet, and YouTube has helped increase penetration of newer versions of Flash Player by rolling out features, like H.264 support, that required the newer Flash Player versions.

For background on the free software angle on this story please check out Robert O’Callahan’s post on this topic. Also check out Mike Shaver’s shorter background post as well. This post differs from theirs in that I want to talk about network effects, why codecs should be considered a fundamental web technology and what the long-term effects of the choices at this inflection point might look like. Recently Youtube announced that you could test out an HTML5-enabled version of their site. They said that they were doing this partially based on people’s “number one request” that Youtube do more with HTML5.
The Present and Future of HTML5 Video Experiences | Brightcove B
As commercial availability of the Apple iPad draws near, we have been getting a lot of inquiries from customers looking for guidance on what they need to do to deliver great video experiences on these devices that exclusively support the HTML5 approach to video. These customers are excited about the possibilities of the iPad, but they also have concerns about what it will take to deliver great video experiences in this environment. They want to know what the tradeoffs and gotchas are, and what we're doing to help them navigate this new landscape. Customers have been thrilled and somewhat surprised to learn that Brightcove has supported HTML5 in basic form since 2008, which is when we began to support the H.264 video format and released our open Media APIs for accessing content stored in the Brightcove online video platform.
Dear Mozilla, Please Don't Kill HTML5 Video! | Brian Crescimanno
Mozilla and I have a long and not-so-storied history together. I first began running what was at the time called the Mozilla App Suite with the “ Milestone 10 ” release in October 1999. I was (I believe) one of the first people outside of the core team to build (as in compile) the browser that would come to be known as Firefox. It was called Phoenix at the time and the team hadn’t released any binaries. I remember talking to the core team on IRC getting instructions as to what build flags to add to build Phoenix rather than the app suite.
First, let’s be very clear: I’m not on the Flash team. I don’t speak for them. (I don’t speak for anyone but myself.)
John Nack on Adobe: Sympathy for the Devil
YouTube vient de lancer la version beta de son service en HTML 5. Concrètement, il suffit d'activer l'option sur cette page pour voir le format Flash disparaître de votre navigateur. Le format choisi par YouTube est le H.264, ce qui limite la chose aux navigateurs tels que Chrome et Safari (quoi qu'il soit également possible d'y accéder avec Internet Explorer pour peu que ses utilisateurs aient choisi d'installer le plugin Chrome Frame). La nouvelle est de taille car elle apporte un soutien de poids au codec H.264, alors que le W3C est perclus de querelles intestines quant au standard à adopter.
