Vimeo Also Introduces HTML5 Video Player

bonch writes "Following in YouTube's footsteps, Vimeo has now introduced its own beta HTML5 video player, and like YouTube, it uses H.264 and requires Safari, Chrome, or ChromeFrame. The new player doesn't suffer the rebuffering problems of the Flash version when clicking around in the video's timeline, and it also loads faster. HTML5 could finally be gaining some real momentum."

All hail HTML5 what a crock of shit

I have the tried the latest versions of chrome ( for windows since the linux version is barely functional) and Firefox and they don't support HTML 5 correctly yet.

Come talk to me when the big committee in the sky pulls their collective heads out of their asses and finalizes HTML 5 and fixes the problems that have been there since HTML 0.01

This whole Video this and video that is a the tail wagging the dog. If you want to watch movies buy a DVD player subscribe to a cable service that gives you video on demand instead of pushing a bad specficiation out the door before it's finished and waisting a whole but load of programmer time making the incomplete spec of HTML 5 work in a half-assed way.
