Overview
There's probably nothing bigger in the HTML5 landscape than the new video tag. You can play videos without having to use Flash or embed code, and that means your videos are playable on more browsers and more devices. In this video, HTML5 guru David Griffiths shows you the ins and outs of creating a video and then accessing that video's properties through JavaScript
With embed tags and the Flash plugin, you have to send tons of properties to your Flash or embed code to update a video on the fly. With the video tag, though, you'll learn how to use both CSS and JavaScript to affect what the user sees. In fact, by the time you're done with this breakdown, you'll have multiple videos playing, pausing, animating, and resizing on the fly.
The experts in the O'Reilly Breakdown live video series not only break down the concepts of difficult and complex subjects, they also demonstrate practical implementation and use. Each episode features an experienced programmer, developer, or software designer working on real-world challenges, ranging from iPad user interface design and multi-tasking on Android phones to caching in cloud-based applications.
