The document discusses HTML5 features, including new elements and attributes for forms, video, and audio capabilities. It highlights the built-in support for multimedia elements with a simple API for developers and emphasizes accessibility improvements. Additionally, it references various resources for practical implementation and best practices in web development leveraging HTML5 technologies.

16. <video> and <audio>

Hi,
Opera has some internal expiremental builds with an implementation of a <video> element. The element
exposes a simple API (for the moment) much like the Audio() object:
play()
pause()
Stop()
The idea is that it works like <object> except that it has special <video> semantics much like <img> has
image semantics. In markup you could prolly use it as follows:
<figure>
<video src=news-snippet.ogg>
...
</video>
<legend>HTML5 in BBC News</legend>
</figure>
I attached a proposal for the element and as you can see there are still some open issues. The element and
its API are of course open for debate. We're not enforcing this upon the world ;-)
Cheers,

21. <video src=pudding.webm loop>

22. <audio src=jedward.ogg preload>
<audio src=jedward.ogg preload=auto>
<audio src=jedward.ogg preload=none>
<audio src=jedward.ogg preload=metadata>

24. powerful (simple) API

25. controlling <video> with JavaScript
var v = document.getElementByTagName('video')
[0];
v.play();
v.pause();
v.volume = … ;
v.currentTime = … ;
…

26. events fired by <video>
var v = document.getElementById('player');
v.addEventListener('loadeddata', function() { … }, true)
v.addEventListener('play', function() { … }, true)
v.addEventListener('pause', function() { … }, true)
v.addEventListener('timeupdate', function() { … }, true)
v.addEventListener('ended', function() { … }, true)
…

27. video as native object...why is it important?
●
keyboard accessibility built-in
●
“play nice” with rest of the page
●
Simple API for controls

29. video formats
webM Ogg/ Theora mp4/ h264
Opera yes yes
Chrome yes yes Nope
(Chrome.soon)
Firefox Yes (FF4) yes
Safari yes
IE9 Yes (if installed) yes

30. audio formats

35. <video> accessibility

37. WebM release does not support subtitles
WHATWG / W3C RFC will release guidance on subtitles and other
overlays in HTML5 <video> in the near future. WebM intends to follow
that guidance.
