OMG many YouTube videos now run on HTML5. This is awesome, I can now actually watch videos without sacrificing one core on my CPU.

The trial has been going on for some time now, but things were not very stable. Now HTML5 works like magic.

I am using Chromium 11.0.696.68 and I love the

Some videos will still glitch sound with HTML5:

I actually find this a lot more CPU hungry at the very beginning, because of the heavy load of buffering, (a 2 minutes video loads up in like less than 5 seconds, wow!) but after that it is using a lot less processing power when compared to Flash.

It is a trial still, but I get perfect sound on this video.

Overall it uses much less CPU power, this great for power savings and watching videos while doing something else (like encoding another video).

I just started testing it, and its pretty nice. Interestingly, it seems to buffer almost all of the video up front. Nifty.

You don't need to deal with he horrors of flash. Flash has many problems on Windows and even more so on Linux.

For me HTML5 is the difference between 100% CPU and 25% CPU usage, much smoother and much lighter.

As an advocate of open source standards I hope you're joking.
Flash is closed source so if it doesn't work right, there's nothing we can do about it. HTML5 is an open standard that people can develop for based on the open source code standard. Even if it has bugs now, they'll no doubt be worked out soon.

Steve Jobs and many Macintosh users will be happy.

Try right-clicking on the video and "save as" :)

Well, we will figure it out. Saving flash videos was easy, this would a challenge in the beginning.

Hey guys. Question... *don't hit me*

With HTML5 being released, what happens if there needs to be an update or a bug fix or something? Do we have to wait many years for HTML6? Or is there a way to patch things on the fly if they need it?

Or am I just misunderstanding HTML5 and is the above not a possibility for some reason?

HTML5 is just the markup, the bugs would be in the browsers themselves anyway

Appreciate the link. Good read. So there won't ever be an HTML 6. Just HTML with newer features packed on top with it being the browser's responsibility to implement them and fix the bugs.

Moral of the story, keep your browser updated and you'll be in good shape.

I'm getting it... :D
