Subject: dhtml vs <smil>?
Hi,
Could anybody explain to me the advantage of using <smil> vs. =
dhtml/layers?
It seems that most of the stuff (timing events, integrating video/audio) =
can be done in dhtml also? And, I guess, a lot more.
<smil> appears to be a proprietary format that works only with =
real-streaming-media (through the realplayer). On our site we wish to =
offer both RealVideo and WindowsMediaPlayer files to the user, and let =
him/her choose which is preferred. With DHTML we can reuse most of the =
code for both wmp and real, showing the video embedded in the page.
But what are the disadvantages of this compared to smil?
Thanks for any comments!
Best regards,
Rasmus Wolff
