[Xerte-dev] Re: HTML5 report

[Pat Lockley]

Firefox can play mp3 - it's mp4 where the confusion occurs - and
google have bought (i think) or are making an Open Source mp4 codec
(which is why firefox can't do it).

http://podcasts.ox.ac.uk/chaucer-audio is an MP3 playing in HTML 5 in firefox.

There is a lot of JS around which goes (in psuedo)

create me a video node
if no
use something else

long tail does it (and is perhaps a better option as it has plugins),
then there is videoJS, or mediaelements (we use mediaelements on
podcasts, but are moving to longtail - which you need to pay for to
have an unbadged version)
