“The HTML5 video tag allows you to integrate video within your website’s code. And Safari offers HTTP streaming, so playback quality dynamically adjusts to the available speed of wired or wireless networks — perfect for viewing on mobile devices such as iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.”

“Scott Rafer is a startup machine. He was one of 5 people at MyBloglog, the portable social network that caught fire in months and flipped to Yahoo, he was a co-founder of API management service to the stars Mashery and has held top executive positions at 6 other startups since leaving Kodak in the late 90’s.
Today he’s unveiling his newest project and it’s a very ambitious one.
Handroll.tv is an HTML5 video delivery platform. “In the whole Jobs vs. Flash debate, the back-end implications are largely being ignored,” he writes in a blog post today.
‘HTML5 video makes it very tough to hide anything — media files, player code, usage, video description metadata, social gestures, editing layers, and a hundred other savory morsels. That data feast will all be floating around and available to slice, dice, layer, and roll. Bridging from data availability to great new applications will require open services in which that data is gathered and laid out for use. Handroll.TV is working to be one of those services.’

Douglas Crockford is a senior JavaScript architect at Yahoo!, and is a writer and speaker on JavaScript, JSON, and related web technologies. He also created JSON (Javascript Object Notation). This a 5 minute interview where he expresses his opinions regarding HTML5. Very Candid and honest interview from someone who knows a lot about Javascript and the Web.

“Our recent post generated many comments and questions. The discussion of intellectual property rights is complex and invites many different points of view. This is a good opportunity to talk through the certainty and uncertainty relative to our goals for IE9 from Microsoft’s point of view.
Developers have consistently conveyed that they want certainty and predictability in the underlying browser platform. We want to deliver a great HTML5 experience in IE9 with great certainty. The goal of certainty informs a lot of choices, such as which of the many standards still under construction we’ll pursue. Browser developers have to make decisions like this all the time.
For many reasons, H.264 video offers a more certain path than other video formats and does so in a way that delivers a great HTML5 experience for developers and end-users. First and most important, we think it is the best available video codec today for HTML5 for our customers. Relative to alternatives, H.264 maintains strong hardware support in PCs and mobile devices as well as a breadth of implementation in consumer electronics devices around the world, excellent video quality, scale of existing usage, availability of tools and content authoring systems, and overall industry momentum – each an important factor that contributes to our point of view.”

This is an example that shows video playing in HTML5. And right next to the video is a canvas that has the same video playing in reverse.
This demo shows two videos running, which we’re trying to run in sync. Moving the scrubber should scrub both videos.
The IE Blog had a very interesting post regarding HTML5 video this afternoon. Choice quote “The future of the web is HTML5.”
This is another example from craftymind.com. This time around instead of blowing up the movie we are simply watching the screen rotate as if it was 3d. Again, not totally practical but a great example of what is possible with HTML5 <canvas>. Here is the article related to this example.
And here is the actual example: 3D Video with HTML5 <canvas>
This is an interesting and innovative approach to the HTML5 <canvas> element. There is a video playing on the <canvas>, when you click with the mouse it causes the movie to explode into small pieces. Not totally practical but perhaps a precursor to interactive movies?
