A week ago we could tellThat YouTube in the near future will make some changes in their service, and that in this context have asked users to what they wanted improvements. The absolute high jumper the list of the hundreds of suggestions for improvement was the implementation of HTML5 support for displaying video. The proposal has many who have not believed it would be something, but now YouTube can introduce an experimental HTML5 video player.
The advantage of using HTML5 is that it has been an HTML5-compliant browser, so there is no need to download a plugin to view a given video.
Since there is still a very early version of the new player, there are a number of limitations. First and foremost, the browser, in addition to support HTML5, also support h.264 encoded videos. P.t. only Chrome and Safari, making it, or Internet Explorer with ChromeFrame.
Google will continue to improve the player in the coming months and look forward to helping to promote the HTML5 standard.
You use one of these browsers, you can try the new player here.
