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.

What is HTML5 Video?

HTML5 video is an element introduced in the HTML5 draft specification for the purpose of playing videos or movies, partially replacing the object element. HTML5 video is intended by its creators to become the new standard way to show video online,[citation needed] but has been hampered by lack of agreement as to which video formats should be supported in the video element.  – From Wikipedia

As easyhtml5video.com says, HTML5 is the fastest growing web development trend and HTML5 video as a part of HTML5 becomes the new natural way to show video online. iPad, iPhone, Android, all new browsers declare the support for HTML5 video. It’s great, but what is the usual route to create HTML5 video? First you need to find converters and make three versions of your video – .OGG, MP4, WebM. Then, to provide the compatibility with IE and old browsers you add a fallback Flash version of your video with Flash video player. And finally, you extract an image for poster and write batch lines of code to combine all of it…

What are the codecs for HTML5 video?

• MP4 or H.264

This is the codec supported by Apple and Microsoft. It is a licensed codec that provides good quality video and small file sizes. There are a lot of programs available for both Mac and Windows that will encode in H.264 video.

Where the problem comes in is that this codec is not free. MPEG LA, the owner of the H.264 codec, has said they wouldn’t charge royalties for internet video that is free to end users in perpetuity. But what does that mean? They may charge browser makers and video editing software makers to put the codec into their products, or they could take it right to the video creators (although this is unlikely). Ultimately, if the MPEG group starts charging anyone for the license of this software, we will be paying for it at some point through increases to the price of software we purchase or the loss of support in browsers and other devices.

• ogg/Theora

Ogg/Theora is a free open standard for video encoding. It generates high quality videos with comparatively larger file sizes. Plus it is a lot harder to find tools to convert to ogg/Theora. And in some cases they only convert the video, and not the video and audio.

Ogg/Theora is free software, so many people are comfortable using it because they are not concerned that they will be charged a license fee some day in the future. As such, we can expect that the cost of this codec will remain free.

• WebM

WebM uses the VP8 codec that is owned by Google. It has high video quality, but it can take a lot longer to encode a video in WebM than in H.264. While Google claims that WebM has the highest video quality of all the web codecs, most independent sources find that either H.264 is slightly better or there is very little difference between the two. The problem is that it can be very difficult to encode, especially compared to the many free and commercial tools available to encode H.264.

The WebM codec is free and open source, so it should remain free to use. However, the underlying codec is owned by Google. And their position on open source could change in the future. Ultimately, most people are assuming it won’t, and so this codec will remain free.

(The explanations above are all from Jennifer Kyrnin)

Gradually, HTML5 video will be the first chosen for websites’ builders. As the software pioneer, sothink has been dedicated in developing the products in the advanced technology, and we’d like to let you know that our HTML5 video converter will be released in the near future; it is the video tool that can help you convert videos to HTML5 formats for publishing.

1. Arrange a delicious Christmas meal and cookies

On Christmas day, it is common to enjoy a special Christmas meal. It often consists of turkey and a lot of other festive foods. You should prepare Christmas lunch or dinner days before. Clean out your fridge to make room for your goodies, and collect all your orders from the butchery, markets, wine merchants and florist. In advance, you have to prepare vegetables, salads, Christmas cakes, desserts and cookies. You can whip cream and do anything else that you could think of to help you get through the day in a happy frame of mind.

Preparing the perfect Christmas meal is also a neat trick to use. Make sure that this year you will make preparation for something new and exciting, like small treats and superb main courses. The process of preparing Christmas food can be simplified by selecting menu items that are easy to prepare and those that can be made ahead of time.

Christmas cookies are the perfect food to celebrate the Christmas day and are family favorites all the year round. Many cookies can be prepared in advance and frozen. Most cookies are quite good, including chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, gingersnaps, etc.

2. Organize a Special Christmas Party at Home

Holding a Christmas party is a good way to celebrate Christmas day with families and friends or neighbors. Except for the party food and drinks, which are very important to make guest mingle around, you’ll need to make a careful plan for other things. Just keep in mind that the guests who are invited would enjoy every moment and can have tremendous amount of fun on your Christmas party.

The first is to make a guest list and send detailed invitations or “save-the-date” cards to make sure everyone has the day available to come to the party on Christmas day. Then plan the seating arrangements and make sure you have enough serving pieces and utensils. You also need to decorate your house in a warm feeling. You may color all the walls in your house, dangle colored lights around, put colorful candles on table, and hang beautiful ornaments on the Christmas tree.

3. Prepare Christmas Games Indoor and Outdoor

Games and fun activities are those much-needed additions to parties or gatherings. To make this Christmas day most memorable, you can organize various Christmas games both to entertain kids as well as adults. Except sit by the fire, listen to Christmas songs, play a card game, you may choose other numerous funny games to spice people up, such as Dark Room, Blow that Balloon, Flour Child, Cross the Bridge, etc. Just browse the internet and find the games you like to play together at home.

Moreover, it is also a good idea to play outdoor activities with families and friends outdoors on Christmas day. You may try outdoors games of Beanbag Cross Challenge, Keep Your Bottle, etc or play some family baseball, basketball and so on. Since the Christmas is coming soon, you should prepare some outdoor activities as soon as possible for kids and adults to have much more fun on Christmas day this year.

4. Plan A Joyful Moment for Watching Movies or TV Together

Watching movies and TV with families after dinner is also a happy moment on Christmas day. Buy a Christmas movie CD or just find interesting Christmas movies and videos online, such as Holiday Inn, Santa Claus Conquers, the 12 Dogs of Christmas , Benji’s Very Own Christmas Story, etc.

There are many Christmas movies you can watch online for free, or you may download and transform them to watch on TV set or on your mobiles with some DVD tools or video software.

Whether you need Sothink Free Video Converter to convert videos for use on a cellphone or other mobile device, compress the file to make it easier to fit on a disk, or even just rip audio from a video file, this app can help you out.

Advanced or simple

Using Sothink Free Video Converter is very comfortable.

By looking under theadvanced section, you can trim the start and end time of videos, as well as changing specifications like frame rate and video and audio codecs.

The iPad 2 features two built-in cameras, for use with FaceTime video chat and other apps. FaceTime can be used between two iPad 2s, between the iPad 2 and an iPhone or iPod touch, or between an iPad 2 and a Mac using FaceTime for Mac. As with FaceTime on other iOS devices, you’ll be able to use the front-facing camera to capture your own image; you can switch to the rear-facing camera during conversations to show chat participants what you’re looking at without having to flip around your iPad.

The iPad 2′s front camera is capable of recording VGA-resolution (640-by-480) video at 30 frames per second with audio. The front camera can also take still photos at 640-by-480. The back camera can record HD video at 720p at 30 frames per second with audio. When in still camera mode, the back camera has a 5X digital zoom.

Overall, the iPad 2 is thinner and lighter than its predecessor, weighing 1.3 pounds and measuring 0.35 inches thick. The original iPad was 1.5 pounds (1.6 pounds for the 3G iPad) and 0.5 inches thick. The iPad 2 is actually thinner than the iPhone 4, which is 0.37 inches thick.

Other new features include a gyroscope, 10 hours of battery life, and a choice between a black or white iPad.

There are six models of the iPad 2.

There are three Wi-Fi only models: a $499 version with 16GB of flash storage; a $599 model with 32GB of flash storage; and a $699 model with 64GB of flash storage.

Apple will offer three 3G-equipped models: a $629 version with 16GB of flash storage; a $729 model with 32GB of flash storage; and a $829 model with 64GB of flash storage. Apple said that the 3G iPad will work with AT&T or Verizon.

Apple says the iPad 2 will be available on March 11 through the online and retail Apple Stores. You can’t place an order for the new tablet until March 11, according to Apple’s online store.
