Vimeo Also Introduces HTML5 Video Player

Posted by timothy on from the how-about-set-top-boxes dept.

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."

    I love the FAQ on that page you linked to:

    But wait - the video quality is lower and sound is sometimes crackly...

    That's normal...for now.

    You know, I was originally leaning towards Theora as the better codec. But your brazen anonymous cursing has turned me right around on this issue. Well done, sir.
