February 3rd, 2012 3 Comments

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…)
