HTML5, Flash, H.264 and Ogg Theora

Ever since the iPad announcement, the inter-relationships between HTML5, Flash, H.264 and Ogg Theora have been intriguing me, so I spent last week trying to figure it all out. The result is The Future of Web Video, Part 1; HTML5? Someday. Ogg? Probably not, over at the Digital Content Producer web site. It's an article that's bound to irritate lots of folks, so if you're having a bad day, surf over for a read and send me a nastly comment.

Hi Jan,

Hopefully you'll spot comments here.

ExposureRoom wrote this interesting bit about their site vs YouTube, Vimeo, data rates they use and HTML5 H.264 playback. I thought you'd like to read and comment.

Hi. I would like to ask if there are any plans in HTML5 to support scalable video coding in the future. Thanks
