Yes, is impressive; no, not all of those things, but most (I see you know your ActionScript 3.0); Theora is improving faster than H.264 (which is not improving) and so will surpass it eventually – without the royalty issues; I agree with you on all points if we are taking into account only the scope of the next two years – but we should be thinking a bit further into the future.
- tjmc 17y agoI'd be very surprised if HTML 5 gains mass market share within 2 years. Unfortunately, the majority of businesses simply standardize on the browser that ships with the desktop OS they use. That's why IE6 is still so pervasive, as most businesses use WinXP on the desktop. I suspect the next large corporate migration will be to Win 7 desktops and IE8 which again means no support. Mac users on Safari may have support but it'll be H264. The problem here is one with all technology - adoption rates drop significantly when a good enough solution is already in place. Flash does video well enough that most people won't see the need to change.
