Video Content Strategies Transforming Websites with VideoMyth-busting HTML 5 <video>
Culture Transformation Closing the gap between content and audience
The Promise • No fragmentation – higher success factor with scalable, manageable solutions • No need for plug-ins, 3rd party tools or proprietary solutions. • Better performance – native functionality • More culturally aligned with the web – open & free standards
The Reality • The functionality is standardized, the implementation isn’t • War of the codec standards • Reliance on Plug-ins (Flash) for fallback
Implementation • Make one version of your video in WebM (VP8+Vorbis) • Make another version in H.264 +AAC audio in an mp4 container • Make a third version in theora + Vorbis in an ogg container • <video> embed with a fallback on flash
Why Bother? • Devices. If you care at all about reaching the mobile marketplace, video is a must. • Lead, don’t follow - be a part of setting the standard. The sooner you get started, the better off you’ll be when it matures. • Potential – html5 <video> is where flash was 10 years ago – on the precipice of explosive growth. • It’s worth it – any bumps are outweighed by video’s extended reach. • SaaS Solutions – you don’t have to DIY.
