Hi,
when I use Safari, I automatically see YouTube and other websites videos
without using Flash (I installed an extension for that), and I also can
download a video just by right-clicking/download.
Now, with SM 2.20 (User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X
10.6; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 SeaMonkey/2.20) when I check
the browser capabilities (www.youtube.com/html5) I have:
- tag video YES
- h.264 NO
- WebM YES
Is this correct? SM can't natively use h.264?
thank you
Gabriel
There are two formats for HTML5. WebM is the one used by Mozilla and
Opera and h.264 by Microsoft (IE).
As for youtube, if you have Flash installed, and not disabled for SM (or
better yet just not installed), then Flash will be default for youtube
even for the youtube videos available in HTML5. On Windows 8, I use
Flash in IE (where it is embedded) 10 because it is easier to keep it
disabled there unless I need it. This forces SM, Opera and Fx to use
WebM at youtube. If I happen to click on an older youtube video that has
not yet been converted to HTML5 then I have to watch it via Flash in IE.
There is also the problem of SM and Fx starting, and keeping running
forever, two plugins for Flash. Even when you finish with Flash those
plugins run, unnecessarily, eating up RAM. It was a poor decision on
the part of Mozilla to handle Flash recently in this very cumbersome
manner.
