by Joab Jackson, IDG News Service In the ongoing debate over whether to use Flash or HTML5, Google has weighed in heavily in favor of using HTML5. The engineers at the Google-owned YouTube, however, still prefer Flash, if a company blog item posted Tuesday from the company is any indication. “While HTML5′s video support enables us to bring most of the content and features of YouTube to computers and other devices that don’t support Flash Player, it does not yet meet all of our needs,”......

YouTube Software Engineer John Harding today explained that the video site was still closely tied to Flash. While the site is “excited” about HTML5 and is using it for most videos in its optional player and mobile devices, many of the site’s features still need Adobe’s plugin to work well or to work at all.

The service providers are fleecing the folks using high bandwidth. See I want to produce HD and send the DVDs to my friends and family in remote parts of the world where they have limited hardware to playback the videos but Internet may not be as fast. So, Steve wake up, I want to author too and not just play Blu-Ray. For playing Blu-Ray I already have...... Read more
