The Element

Google Tech Talks March 29, 2007 ABSTRACT Video is becoming increasingly important content type, and it's time to make video a first-class citizen on the web. The element is, along with JavaScript bindings, proposed as a simple solution to encourage browsers to support video natively. Equally important is the choice of video format to be used with. I will argue that the success of the web is based on using open standards, and that video should be no exception. I will demo Opera showing Ogg Theora video clips natively. A demonstration is available here: http://people.opera.com/howcome/2007/video Credits: Speaker:Håkon Wium Lie
