YouTube has been playing around the HTML5 video, and so far they’re making some pretty good progress. I use their HTML5 video player to watch all the videos I play on their site.
But what about your site? Are you stuck using the Flash player? What happens to all your embedded videos when you want them to use HTML5 video instead of Flash?
Lucky for you, YouTube has a solution! Check out the video below. If you’re using a browser that supports HTML5, you’ll see it in their HTML5 video; if your browser doesn’t understand HTML5, you’ll see it in their latest flash player. Not only that, the code is SIGNIFICANTLY simpler than their Flash embed code.
