Did you see the announcement of HTML5 video for Youtube and Vimeo? http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2010/01/introducing-youtube-html5-supported.html > 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.
http://vimeo.com/blog:268 > What's the HTML5 player, you ask? Simply put, it's an alternative to our > current Flash player that looks and works > almost exactly the same way. What are the benefits? > The player loads right away -- no more spinning butterfly thingy > You can jump anywhere in the video, without having to wait for it to buffer > Smoother, less jumpy playback (we hope) > .... > It only works for about 25% of you: you must be running the latest versions > of Safari, Chrome, or IE with Chrome Frame installed. Hmmm, probably time to tackle an OpenLaszlo version: http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-8290 - Raju
