1. Flash vs.HTML5 Video Facts & Statistics vs.

2. STATISTICS FIRST 3. Flash videois 26% of web videoTechcrunch Statistics

Meanwhile, Flash is represented by Flash VP6 and FLV, which combined represent only 26 percent of all videos. So the native Flash codecs and H.264 have completely flipped in terms of market share

Is that true

Or is it just

Misuse of statistics?

4. HTML5 Video

Theora (a version of the ancient VP3)

• Old codec

• Poor performance (BR/Quality ratio)

• Free no royalties

• Hardware support?

And H.264

• Much better quality per bitrate

• But it requires royalties.

5. HTML5 Video - continues

VP8 - Soon Google opens VP8 for developers

• Good Quality

• Free, No Royalties (?)

Naturally it will be included as HTML5 video( free)

So what is THE HTML5 Video Codec?

• Theora, H.264 or VP8???

Will we need all video codecs to support the fragmented HTML5 video standard?

6. HTML5 Video Code

Very Simple

< videosrc =" movie.ogg " controls="controls">If you can see this text, your browser does not support the HTML5 video tag. video >

Lies, damned lies, and statistics

This table compares:

• Codecs: H264, VP6

• Containers: FLV (File Format)

Its like comparing apples and oranges

H264 is the main flash video codec

10. FACTS Flash video is over 75% of worldwide video Comscore Video Metrix Report (August 2009) 11. Correct Statistics interpretation

Most of web video is Flash video

The move from VP6 to H.264 is true: Its a move between Flash VP6 videos to Flash H.264 videos thats all

12. HTML5 vs Flash reasoning

Most of the debate and discussion over HTML5 vs. Flash vs. Native Apps has little to do with what is the right technical approach, or whether something is open or closed; it has to do with the expressions of power and control that drive the businesses of the Internets dominant platform companiesApple, Adobe, Google and Microsoft. Jeremy Allaire, founder and CEO of Brightcove TechCrunch, Feb. 5, 2010

13. Summary

Dont lose Flash as your main video site / content encoding and playing solution .

It is recommended to include HTML5 video for non-flash supporting closed platforms (iPhone / iPad)

Beware of statistics
