Regarding Chrome vs Safari vs FF3.5 vs FF3.6 and their support for HTML5
Video tag, they behave slight different on their
interpretation/implementation of the spec, Safari and Chrome will autobuffer
regardless if you used the autobuffer parameter or not, (and chrome will not
display the controls until video fully loaded, which sucks), FF3.5 does not
support the poster attribute and does not update/refresh the player upon
changing the source element via DOM… among other small things.
Firefox 3.6beta looks great though, and have an option to play in fullscreen
:)
Do you know of Firefix will eventually support the creation of a
poster image for a video? Does it seem as if the browsers are slowly
moving towards working the same?
Firefox 3.6, Chrome and Safari4 all respect the poster attribute, the lack of
support on FF3.5 was a bug AFAIK see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449156
Yep, it does seem that they are all moving towards working the same, but we
have to keep in mind that the HTML5 spec is still a draft and subject to
change. Things like fragment access and subtitles were still under discussion
last time I checked (although they are irrelevant for this particular project
:))
I had to tweak my code a little bit in order to get the behavior I wanted on
this 4 browsers, and I still need to add the necessary flash/quicktime
fallbacks in place, but overall I am excited with the awareness about the
importance of open formats this new html5 push is promoting.
Yeah, this is a barrier we need to get over. We shouldnt need all
these fallbacks. So frustrating.
Not a huge barrier, since I already have the clips in both OGV and baseline
h2.64 MP4, so using an html code similar to
http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody this should be simple.
But yes, would be better if we could simply migrate to one single tag already :)
Since Google bought On2, it would be
huge if Youtube eventually using Ogg/Theora in html5 pages. It'd set a
huge precedent.
Definitely! And it would also be huge if they improved Theora by opened other
potentially useful On2 IP.
