A while ago, YouTube launched a simple demo of an HTML5-based video player. Recently, we published a blog post on our pre-spring cleaning effort and your number one request was that YouTube do more with HTML5. Today, we're introducing an experimental version of an HTML5-supported player.
HTML5 is a new web standard that is gaining popularity rapidly and adds many new features to your web experience. Most notably for YouTube users, HTML5 includes support for video and audio playback. This means that users with an HTML5 compatible browser, and support for the proper audio and video codecs can watch a video without needing to download a browser plugin.
Our support for HTML5 is an early experiment, and there are some limitations. HTML5 on YouTube doesn't support videos with ads, captions, or annotations and it requires a browser that supports both the video tag and h.264 encoded video (currently that means Chrome, Safari, and ChromeFrame on Internet Explorer). We will be expanding the capabilities of the player in the future, so get ready for new and improved versions in the months to come.
To try it out, go to the HTML5 page via TestTube or visit this page and join the experiment. This will enable HTML5 video for your browser, provided that it's one of the browsers mentioned above and fits in with the parameters we already referenced. (If you've opted in to other experiments, you may not get the HTML5 player.) You can also enable Feather watch (visit http://www.youtube.com/feather_beta) along with HTML5 video for an even simpler, faster YouTube experience.
We are very excited about HTML5 as an open standard and want to be part of moving HTML5 forward on the web.

It's HTML5 week in video land, and the latest entrant is Vimeo. Less than a day after competitor YouTube announced that it would begin rolling out an HTML5 video player to videos on its site, Vimeo is doing the same.
Beginning Thursday, the site will be offering its users the option to play videos without the need for Adobe Flash--a plug-in that was previously required to watch videos on its online player. The new option to switch to the HTML5 player will appear as a link below each video. The site will then remember a user's preference from session to session.
Browsers that Vimeo will be supporting from the get-go include the latest versions of Apple's Safari, Chrome, and Internet Explorer with the Chrome frame installed. Other browsers will simply not show the HTML5 link.
Vimeo says that the new HTML5-friendly version of its player will work with 90 percent of Vimeo's library that has been uploaded within the past year. That number should grow higher going forward.
The move to HTML5 comes a little more than two months after Vimeo began offering a limited selection of mobile phone-friendly videos. These clips could be played outside of Adobe's Flash player container. But more importantly this opens up Vimeo's content (and site) to what could end up being a much larger number of devices that may not be able to run Flash, but will be HTML5 video-friendly.
Coming up next from the company is support for 1080p uploading and playback, which is due by the end of this month.

Κάλλιο αργά παρά ποτέ που λένε. Τα χνάρια της Apple ακολουθούν το YouTube, το Vimeo και η Google. Μπράβο ρε παιδιά. Επιτέλους! Να πάνε στο διάολο τα Flash και τα Silverlight αυτού του κόσμου. Στα τσακίδια. Ουστ!
HTML5 ftw λέμε για ένα πιο καθαρό διαδίκτυο χωρίς τα σκουπίδια της Adobe και της Micro$oft!
Δώστε μας τέτοια:
I’m done: Star Wars opening crawl, using only HTML & CSS. Caveats: It only works in Snow Leopard in Safari 4.0.4 and the WebKit nightly. Nothing else supports the CSS 3D transforms and animations I used, but I just wanted to see if it could be done.
(Here’s a video of it on YouTube, in case I run out of bandwidth for the day and it stops working.)
Από εδώ.
Δείτε το βίντεο του παραπάνω τρομερού παραδείγματος ενός ορθού διαδικτύου σε αντίθεση με τις παπαροFlash και παπαροSilverlight και καλά τεχνολογίες!
Αν δεν καταλαβαίνετε τι βλέπετε μην ανησυχείτε, εξάλλου έτσι παθαίνετε από τότε που γεννηθήκατε...
Εντοπίστε τις αλλαγές που έκανα εγώ στο παραπάνω βίντεο :P
