Agreed. I'm guessing they are using the term HTML5 rather loosely here. They may have incorporated some other aspects of HTML5, but I don't see how <video> could be part of what they are planning to deliver.
- pyre 15y agoCouldn't they be developing a plugin that adds support for whatever DRM/Video solution they are using, so that the browser can play the video via the <video> element?

- rdtsc 15y agoMight not be that easy. The DRM should essentially provide protection from the content distributor all they way to the hardware. If they are just play it via the <video> element, users can just scrape that content. With Silverlight or other proprietary drivers on proprietary OSes, they can have an agreement with those company to guarantee the DRM protection gets enforced. Now with open sourced drivers, that is not going to happen easily, as users can just recompile the driver with the DRM check commented out.
- aidenn0 15y agoMeh, there are commercial products out there that will rip the video from netflix on windows, so that level of DRM is really a myth anyway.
- yid 15y agoThat's essentially Flash / ActiveX / Silverlight.
