What is HTML5 Video Like?

Along with the development of smartphone and mobile device, in the Internet world, watching online videos on mobile phones and devices is in a trend. However, as we know, the most popular smartphone, iPhone and Android mobiles are in different OS, which means they adopt different codec standard, for instance, iPhone only can play the online videos in MP4 format, while Andriod mobiles can play online videos in FLV format only. Therefore, if there is a format can be supported by both systems, the mobile video websites will attract more visitors. Now, the very format has come out, which is HTML5 video.

What is HTML5?

HTML5 is a language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web, and is a core technology of the Internet originally proposed by Opera Software.It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard (created in 1990 and standardized as HTML4 as of 1997)and as of January 2012 is still under development. Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers, etc.). HTML5 is intended to subsume not only HTML 4, but XHTML 1 and DOM Level 2 HTML as well.  – From Wikipedia. (more…)

  • How to watch YouTube video on iPhone 4S/Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch/Nokia Lumia 800?

For YouTube video, here we mean Flash video FLV format. So if you would like to enjoy FLV on iPhone 4S/Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch/Nokia Lumia 800, you should first convert FLV video to MPEG-4 format, which those mobiles support.

Download Sothink Free Video Converter (there are a lot of video converter applications and here we only recommend the freeware, which is absolutely capable for iPhone/Samsung/Nokia video conversion and multi-language supported), and launch it.

Click button “Add Files” on the top toolbar or select “Add Folder” under “File” to import the YouTube videos you would like to convert. Then go to the left panel and choose encoding profile from the pre-set ones. Here we choose “Google Android Video (*.mp4)”, which is the universal format for those mobiles. Once you choose this profile, you don’t need to configure anything for your conversion since all configuration work has been automatically done for correct and the most suitable.

Is It the Right Time to Start Using HTML 5

Over the past ten years or so, concepts such as Web 2.0, Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), and the Semantic Web have all pushed HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to and beyond their limits, often relying on plug-ins such as Adobe Flash to power components such as video and audio, as well as highly graphical and interactive applications. The Adobe Flex development framework, Microsoft’s Silverlight platform, and JavaFX have all looked to provide support where HTML’s weaknesses made developers’ lives difficult.

With HTML5, however, the markup language is striking back, with full multimedia support, local storage and offline application support, a native 2D drawing API, and a host of new application development APIs, all provided with the intent of proving that HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can provide a rich front end to your Web sites and applications.
