Hi, Some people thought that the upcoming HTLM 5 with standard audio and video tags would spell the end of Flash (and Silverlight and JavaFX). I never thought it would because these plug-ins offer much more than just video and audio.
However, it seems now that there will be no standard audio and video codecs in HTML 5, which means that unless a de-facto standard emerges somewhere down the line, Flash with H.264 video will continue to deliver video to the browser masses.
