The whole reason for Flash's tenacity in the video market was its thorough support for DRM. This is decidedly _not_ an advantage of HTML5.
- azakai 10y agoFlash had video long before HTML5 did, and HTML5 video support has only very recently been consistent (e.g., the codec wars). Those made Flash a better option for a long time, regardless of DRM, and might also be reasons why Flash has stuck around in this space. DRM is not the whole story.
- PretzelFisch 10y agoIn addition HTML5 video playback controls/features have been almost missing compared to the richness offered in flash.
