I think they can spend the following required time on better things:
- Deal with cross browser inconsistencies with html5 video.
- Create a poster image for the video
- Save the video format in mp4, ogg, webm
- Save out and build flash alternative for older browsers
...
...
- Realize that a gif probably would have been the best option for this post.
- shmerl 13y agoI'd simply: - ignore older browsers (today practically all browsers support the video tag, caring about older browsers in this context is like caring about IE6, i.e. it's bad). - stick with a compromise solution (H.264, yeah that's sad, but until Daala will come this mess will remain, but now Firefox already supports H.264 easily, so it's not a problem anymore). If the space allows it, I wouldn't mind encoding in both WebM and MP4, just for the sake of supporting free formats.
