Digital video and audio is nothing new. At all. It's like decades old.
Getting images in browsers was never a problem.
Why is it STILL a problem to get audio and video in browsers?
- jan_g 14y agoA problem exists, because there's no standard way to access microphone and camera. And this access is absolutely essential in order to implement voip. Hence, we've got flash, which is becoming a big problem, because it's been discontinued on some platforms.
- wmf 14y ago<audio> and <video> pretty much work fine AFAIK. We're now talking about putting a P2P/VoIP/videoconferencing stack into the browser which is a bit more complex.
- zanny 14y agoI still can't put <video src=blah></video> in a page and expect it to work in every browser. I need at least webm + mp4, or ogv + mp4, so I double the space utilization on my server for every video maintaining redundant copies, in addition to the various resolutions you make video at because ISPs are assholes and we are still in the dark ages of internet speeds.
