Support HTML 5 video

[phrostbyte]

I request a feature where someone can do:

http://www.ubuntu.com/somevid.ogv

And it will create a video element (<video src="...">) similar to the IMG tag.

The video tag is supported in Firefox 3.5 which is available for Jaunty here (apt://firefox-3.5), and already preinstalled in Karmic.

Yeh......all sites related to opensource, ubuntu, linux need to using Ogm instead of flv for better support this new platform

there is Dialymotion test site http://openvideo.dailymotion.com/

and Here is Mozilla videos link http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/video/

HTML 5 video uses that encumbered MPEG-4-like codec, though.

No, it originally was going to use OGG Theora. Pressure from Apple and somewhat Google caused the spec maintainer to remove the code requirement, so not the <video> tag will use whatever your browser/system supports. Defeats the purpose, but oh well.

It use ogg theora codec and use containers like ogm(mostly), Avi, Mp4
