Following up on my previous post on the matter, we already know that HTML 5 has the potential to replace any need for Flash and with the support of Firefox 3.5 and Midori, boost open media standards.
Look's like YouTube might be gearing up to either expand their HTML 5 demo, and/or allow video downloads. If you go to your "My Videos" page, there is now a new "Download MP4" button on each of your uploads. YouTube uses MP4 for the video in the HTML 5 demo, and i encourage everyone to keep pressuring them to adopt Ogg Theora/Vorbis (check off "I have another idea" at the bottom). Bonus points for mentioning this Googler's false claim on the WhatWG mailing list: "If [youtube] were to switch to theora and maintain even a semblance of the current youtube quality it would take up most available bandwidth across the Internet." --Chris DiBona
Keep in mind that this will not mean that all YouTube videos will no longer be in Flash. It will just mean that Flash will no longer be the only option. There was been a lot of confusion over that.
P.S. Did you know that SVG can replace much of the interactivity that Flash provides? It's true!
Yes, you can do a lot with SVG, but Internet Explorer doesn't support it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these bits, very interesting.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Did you know that SVG can replace much of the interactivity that Flash provides? It's true!
ReplyDeleteUp to a point, yes. But I suspect that as the amount of interactivity in an SVG grows its performance drops off fairly precipitously. See Aq's experiment with games in pure SVG, for example.
I really your blog, but one thing that irritates me is your mispelling in every single post...
ReplyDeleteI forgot 'like', I'm not too good at spelling either, but I do my best.
ReplyDeleteI accidentally your blog
ReplyDeleteTheora isn't a suitable alternative presently.
ReplyDeleteDirac yes, but not Theora.
Dailymotion are picking up Theora for their HTML5 largely on the basis that it will hopefully be fixed before HTML5 really takes off.

That seems someone brave when you're dealing with a codec that is intrinisically last generation.
Come on, you son of a bitch. At least mention Arora too.
ReplyDeletefuck arora nobody uses that fucken kde shit
ReplyDeleteArora is at least a lot more stable than Midori. Midori is unusable.
ReplyDeleteI thought the Theora codec wasn't ready yet so nobody wanted to switch to it. Thats why I'm suprised by Dailymotion.
Dirac for video, Vorbis for audio and Matroska container format is certainly the way to go IMO
ReplyDeleteI used Theora to try and make a demo on my blog, but it won't work (don't think blogger supports it yet)... maybe someone can help me?!!
ReplyDeleteAnd as someone stated that Theora is last gen. well, the finalized version might be, but the experimental versions I've seen/used:

Are really giving h.264 something to think about...
Theora rocks!
I use Theora for my personal videos and switched to using it exclusively wherever I can.
ReplyDeleteAs for the quality: I got it down to 96kbit/s for *video and audio*, and it still looks acceptable:

That's a lower bitrate than most of my ancient mp3s, and it sounds far better!
