    Hosting HTML5 video:  advice?

    sneakyimp Community Member

      Having just looked at the HTML5 video compatibility table on wikipedia, it would seem that HTML5 video has a big problem:  Namely that there is no single video format supported by all major browsers.

       

      There is a secondary problem:  That a significant fraction of web browsers currently in use do not support HTML5.  I've got Firefox 8 right now and It doesn't support quite a few features -- notably mpeg4 and h.264.  The situation looks pretty grim.

       

      Does anyone have advice about handling video in HTML5 rather than Flash?  I'm inclined to either use Flash (again) or rely on Youtube or Vimeo for hosting my video.
