There is video hosting web sites on the intertubes? Now where would those be found, I wonder. All I have ever seen is macro- streaming that is fraudulently labeled and advertised as video -- the worst being something called FlashVirus, which was written by a company called MacroVirus Media or something like that, and currently owned and flogged by Adobe along with their "Proprietary Document Format" (the latest versions of which boast UVTD technology -- Unstoppable Virus Transport and Distribution).
If the so-called video contains arbitrary executable code (or can run arbitrary executable code), or requires the use of a specific application to "play" (or infect the target), then it should not be described as "video". It is a streaming-macro.
Is H.264 Turing-complete ? Is Ogg-Vorbis ? (It seems like those are the two reasonable open standard choices.))
Okay by me. Just no "Flash Video Streams" if you please.
FWIW many of the big video hosting sites have this option now, and many send an appropriate format for the browser being used: http://www.youtube.com/html5 http://www.dailymotion.com/html5 http://vimeo.com/blog:268 http://blip.tv/html5/ http://www.archive.org/details/Html5DemoVideo Alex
