Neat trick with HTML 5 Flashless Video
A very cool effect. Better view it in Chrome or Safari.
I'm thinking Flashless web video will open the floodgates to all kinds of novel ways to play with video.

Holy Moly. The technology is outstripping my ability to keep up with it! I'm beginning to understand why my dad checked out of the advances years ago.
Very cool. Can't wait for HTML5 to be standard issue.
Wonder why Webkit browsers are suggested. It looks the same to me in FF3.6.3 as it does in Chrome. Maybe the new(er) Firefox has (better) HTML5 support?
Where do I download the plugin to view this?
I like that HTML5 is more flashy than flash. Something feels right about that.
Seriously this and Adobe CS5 already...>> ^silvercord:

Yeah, no issue with Firefox here, worked fine and dandy.
It is interesting indeed and am fascinated to watch how the web morphs along with this.
Of course, there will ALWAYS be those saying 'If you can't read it text only, it doesn't belong on the web'.
To which I say 'fuck off sir' (as it's pretty much always a male).
Sure, sites that have important information that requires access should be able to be read via screen readers etc. But why shouldn't there be exciting and interesting things out there to make our life on the web more interesting.
Do these same people believe that books with pictures should not exist? Or popup books?
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Video won't always be opaque to the non-human eye. I know that YouTube is experimenting with automatic subtitles using voice recognition. Also Google does a lot of work with image recognition- won't be long.>> ^spoco2:

I was going to propose that it was posted a while ago when FF's javascript was still significantly slower, but I found the article and it's only a few days old: http://www.craftymind.com/2010/04/20/blowing-up-html5-video-and-mapping-it-into-3d-space/
Maybe FF is faster on Win than on Mac? Or maybe your computer is just fast enough that the browser performance gap wasn't significant? I didn't see any problems either.
This one did give me a little stuttering, however...
