In the long run, I really think that HTML5 may be able to kill Flash. If the iPad continues to gain market share, that would also help (it seems most people don’t care too much about those iPad problems, after all…). Anyway, this is not about the iPad, but about a toolkit for taking full advantage of HTML5 video capabilities, namely CwVideo.
CwVideo is covered by the terms of the MIT License and supports a bunch of methods, including play/pause, rewind, volume or move, and every property can be easily reached by providing an id to the video tag and calling a function, the MooTools way!
CwVideo requires MooTools 1.24+ (Core) and Fx.Slider (More), but despite the fact they claim to have full compatibility with Safari 3+, Firefox 3+, Chrome 3+ and Opera 10.5+, I wasn’t even able to watch the product site properly in Opera, not to mention the demo… Anyway, Chrome had no problems… so I ask you – were you able to watch any of these two pages (the demo and official product page) in Opera? Maybe it’s some strange problem on my side, after all…
