gyorgy@0 2 00:00:00,1 --> 00:00:04
gyorgy@0 3 HTML5 &lt;video&gt; and &lt;audio&gt; was supposed to be awesome, powerful, and fun.
gyorgy@0 4
gyorgy@0 5 1
gyorgy@0 6 00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
gyorgy@0 7 But browser vendors couldn't agree on a codec
gyorgy@0 8
gyorgy@0 9 2
gyorgy@0 10 00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
gyorgy@0 11 and older browsers don't support &lt;video&gt; at all.
gyorgy@0 12
gyorgy@0 13 3
gyorgy@0 14 00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
gyorgy@0 15 This means &lt;video src="myfile.mp4" /&gt; doesn't work ...
gyorgy@0 16
gyorgy@0 17 4
gyorgy@0 18 00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
gyorgy@0 19 until now.

gyorgy@0 22 00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
gyorgy@0 23 Introducing MediaElement.js, an HTML5 &lt;video&gt; and &lt;audio&gt; player
gyorgy@0 24
gyorgy@0 25 6
gyorgy@0 26 00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
gyorgy@0 27 that looks and works the same in every browser (even iPhone and Android).
gyorgy@0 28
gyorgy@0 29 7
gyorgy@0 30 00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
gyorgy@0 31 For older browsers, it has custom Flash and Silverlight plugins
gyorgy@0 32
gyorgy@0 33 8
gyorgy@0 34 00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
gyorgy@0 35 that fully replicate the HTML5 MediaElement API
gyorgy@0 36
gyorgy@0 37 9
gyorgy@0 38 00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
gyorgy@0 39 so you can build a consistent control UI using just HTML and CSS.
gyorgy@0 40
gyorgy@0 41 10
gyorgy@0 42 00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
gyorgy@0 43 MediaElement.js even supports newer standards
gyorgy@0 44
gyorgy@0 45 11
gyorgy@0 46 00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
gyorgy@0 47 like the &lt;track&gt; element that enables the subtitles you're reading right now.
gyorgy@0 48
gyorgy@0 49 12
gyorgy@0 50 00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
gyorgy@0 51 The subtitles can even be translated into any language using Google's Translation API.
gyorgy@0 52
gyorgy@0 53 13
gyorgy@0 54 00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
gyorgy@0 55 As a bonus, the Flash and Silverlight fallbacks allow you to use FLV and WMV files.
