Did you Hear about YouTube and HTML5 Video Player ? If you didn't , let me talk about it a little for you .
A while ago, YouTube launched a simple demo of an HTML5-based video player. In an announcement earlier today, the Google-owned online video service stated that anHTML5-compatible player was the number-one request of its users. HTML5 is the upcoming new standard for the markup language behind most web pages, one that supports video, audio, drag-and-drop, canvas drawing, and many other new features and APIs.
Since HTML5 supports video embeds, YouTube has rolled out a version of its player that runs just on it.
No browser plugins (e.g. Flash) are required to watch videos that support HTML5.
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.
done and hope it'll be useful news and info for you
thanks for reading
