Another HTML 5 video test…

This is just a test. If you are running Firefox 3.5, you should get a video window that allows you to watch a Superman cartoon encoded in Ogg Theora. If you aren’t running it, but have a Java enabled browser, you should get an applet which plays the same video. If you have neither, you should get a message lamenting your condition.



P.S. I haven’t verified that Java playback works. Safari on my Macbook tries to load the Theora video, but appears to fail (Safari appears to only support h264 encoded video, retarded).

Addendum: Ah, it does work on Safari, but only if you install these Quicktime components. Kind of annoying, but it’s nice to see that it does work.

Addendum2: Shifted the clip to be one I made of my betta fish. It’s shorter, and will thrash my server less.

    Works here with the Java plugin with Firefox 3.08 on Ubuntu and Firefox 3.5.2 on Vista 64.

    Play icon with a slashed circle and a Quicktime logo on the lower right on the iPhone.
