Chrome recently made the announcement that they will soon discontinue support for the H.264 video codec. While end users may not care, nor should they notice, to video producers this is significant, because supporting multiple codecs means higher costs and longer development. Chrome is no longer a fringe browser, with 15% of the global browser market share and gaining quickly on Firefox’s 31% and IE’s 47%. Android phones are also capturing the market at high rates and these phones use Chrome, and will undoubtedly follow suit and move away from H.264. Read the rest of this entry »

There can be a cloud of mystery surrounding new technologies. HTML5 Video is especially problematic since it is not just one technology, there are multiple codecs and file formats. When is a good time to adopt? Is it possible that you can adopt too late or too soon?
In this IBM developerWorks article, I show the progression of the early days of the Internet and choppy, “cross your fingers and hope it works” digital video to its current state of the browser vendors attempting to reclaim native video from the Adobe Flash plugin.

Our player is being future-proofed for when that day comes, but even better, we’re ready for technology of today – namely the iPad.

According to Google trends, HTML5 is one of the hottest technology topics today and in the very near future, it will be the language of choice for web applications, displacing Flash. The most publicized reason for the push to build web apps in HTML5 is that Flash is not allowed on the iPhone and the iPad, but the reasons go deeper and more technical than that.
