Beautiful HTML5 "Sublime" Video Player
- malkia 17y agoNow I'm totally sold HTML5 Video :) Wow
- ludwig 17y agoHmm. It's very nice, but in Chrome I can't figure out how to make the video play in full-screen mode.
- beh 17y agoFull-screen is apparently only supported by alt-clicking the full-window button in the latest WebKit nightly builds.
- eam 17y agoIt kept freezing Safari on my Windows. :(
- est 17y agoFlash is not the only problem now?
- raptrex 17y agoDoes the video work in Chromium? Using a macbook.
- elidourado 17y agoChromium doesn't ship with the MP4 codec.
- chops 17y agoIt's not terribly relevant to HTML5, but I wracked my brain over trying to figure out what song plays in the video and how I know it. After listening to a bunch of tracks and going through my music collection, I found it. It's a re-orchestration of Bond's "Oceanic" (Bond, the string quartet). I'm not sure if their version is original, or if that's a remake of something else (they do like to do updated dancy versions of classics like the 1812 Overture). If anyone's interested anyway, it was bugging me like crazy.
- peter_severin 17y agoThere is also a second Dartmoor video on James Watson's site. It uses the music by Javier Navarrete from "Pan's Labyrinth" film.
- theschwa 17y agoIt really remind me of a song in I think Beauty and the Beast. Does that ring a bell for anyone?
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoWhatever it is, I think it's been used in a UK advert for Disneyland.
- stingraycharles 17y agoDefinitely reminds me of Disney. Apparantly, it's been used in many movies, as seen here: http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0006269/ http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0006269/ But can't find anything about the Beauty & The Beast there.
- ComputerGuru 17y agoThank you. It was bugging me as well, which is funny because I rarely listen to these and don't usually "index" them... But this one really sticks in your head! It's not the original Bond Oceanic, but definitely similar. However I've heard the same exact re-orchestration before, still dying to know where though.
- scw 17y agoThe original piece is "The Aquarium", by Camille Saint-Saëns, a part of the Le Carnaval des Animaux suite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Carnaval_des_Animaux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Carnaval_des_Animaux

- old-gregg 17y agoWho controls the buffering logic in this case? Is it entirely up to the browser or it's configurable somehow by client's JS? I'm on a less-than-perfect connection here and all I'm seeing is hiccups and it doesn't try to slow down and fill the buffer
- jrockway 17y agoNo Firefox support? That seems pretty arbitrary; why not show my browser the page and let it decide if it can render it? Oh yeah, it's by a web designer...
- ComputerGuru 17y agoNo, it's because Firefox said outright they will not support HTML5 H.264 streaming.
- Raphael_Amiard 17y agoSo that's it we amalgamate HTML5 video and H.264 already ?
- sid0 17y agoWhat does the codec have to do with the player?
- jdowdell 17y agoThere is no "'HTML5' VIDEO". AAPL and GOOG can use VIDEO tag for H.264-encoded video. Mozilla and Opera can use VIDEO tag for Ogg Theora encoded video. There are two distinct implementations: VIDEO/H.264 and VIDEO/Theora. Neither supports the other. You got suckered by the "'HTML5' VIDEO" talk. Not your fault; even its proponents didn't address such video basics until it became too late.
- ComputerGuru 17y agoIt doesn't work properly: after it plays a section of the movie, dragging back will re-download!! (Chrome/Mac)
- moe 17y agoCuriously this player causes more CPU load than a flash video here on chrome/OSX. Must be something specific to this implementation, though. The html5 player on youtube causes less load than flash.
- zephjc 17y agoSafari in OS X made my CPU fan really start to kick up some noise, and it was still pretty choppy on my beefy MBP - the full screen transition was too.
- anatoli 17y agoThe script performs pretty poorly on Safari 4.0.4 too... compared to the YouTube one at least.
- n8agrin 17y agoSafari 4.0.4, Core i7 iMac and the cpu didn't feel a thing here. Player played the movie beautifully.
- est 17y agoOK, can anyone tell me how to fullscreen HTML5 video?
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoWhile this is nicely presented, I'm not really seeing what it adds, especially for something that's not open source and they intend to charge for. Surely the point of HTML5 video is to have these controls built into the browser so they work with accessibility, and your custom key combos, and your touch control webpad etc. And the non-control bits are just CSS. Okay it looks better than the default Chrome player, but really that's not very hard. Seems a step back for Safari though.
- revorad 17y agoAh the Dartmoor tors. Beautiful part of England. Must visit if you happen to be in the country. </OT>
- scrrr 17y agoQuestion: How exactly does this work? Is the player code (video decompressing etc.) part of the browser code or does it utilize players on my desktop (divx or even vlc)? It seems that html5-video is codec-independent. But the codecs have to be somewhere, right?
- DougBTX 17y agoUp to the browser developers. I know Firefox uses codecs built into the browser only, not sure of the others.
- Sephr 17y agoHow does this work? As far as I knew, it was the src attribute you set on source tags. <source title='http://d31j8lt3uybmqs.cloudfront.net/sublimevideo/dartmoor.mp4 http://d31j8lt3uybmqs.cloudfront.net/sublimevideo/dartmoor.m... type='video/mp4' />
- ambiate 17y agoI think it's quite unfair to promote a piece of software with such a surreal video and comforting soundtrack. All of my attention was drawn to the video instead of looking for more info. There doesn't seem to be any relevant information for developers in links on the site or a faq.
