Doesn't this tie them to Flash? As far as I know, one can live stream video only using Flash, there are no provisions in HTML5. Is that correct?

- wmf 16y agoThere are three or four competing HTTP-based non-Flash live streaming protocols duking it out in the IETF. AFAIK Chrome hasn't implemented any of them yet.
- cft 16y agoDo these protocols also capture video input from the camera?
- JeremyBanks 16y agoI would be surprised if in-browser tools are the main way that content will be streamed. Other sites usually use external software.

- jallmann 16y agoThere is nothing stopping YouTube from running, say, a RTSP recorder and re-packaging the media to use RTMP (Flash streaming). In fact this is probably preferable, since there is no way to encode H.264 from within the Flash client.
