HTML5 & Video
As we all know the web is constantly evolving. New and innovative websites are being produced daily and they are expanding the boundaries of HTML is several directions. Unfortunately the HTML4 standard has been around for nearly 10 years and web designers want new functionality and techniques, but they held back by the constraints of the HTML4 (and browsers).
The Next Major Version of HTML = HTML5
To give authors more flexibility and interoperability while enabling more interactive and exciting websites and applications, HTML5 introduces a wide range of features including form controls, APIs, multimedia, structure and semantics.
HTML5 + Video
Anyone who has spent some time online in the past couple years understand that video can be embedded into a webpage with little effort. But before HTML5, there was not a standards-based way to do this. Pretty much all the video you’ve ever viewed “on the web” has been delivered through a third-party plug-in like Flash. Luckily the plug-ins can integrate with your browser of choice (most of the time). And that is the issue, there still are platforms that do not support third-party plug-ins and there is no standard way to do it.
HTML5 defines a standard way to embed video into a web page, using the video element. While the video element is not fully supported, we decided to experiment with HTML5. Why? HTML5 helps web publishers like Whitman harness open standards to deliver video content to popular consumer devices, such as the Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
Unfortunately, some organizations attempting to deliver HTML5 video experiences are struggling with knowledge gaps, technical limitations, and additional development costs that can make it prohibitive to deliver HTML5 video experiences in parallel with other approaches. We decided to experiment a bit and find out for ourselves. Here are some uses of the video element and a variety of output formats.
