Welcome to the html5flash wiki!

The goal of this project is to make as much of the HTML5 Media API (video and audio) tag available using Adobe Flash based players. In order to make it easy to embed into existing projects (both commercial and open source), html5flash is using the Apache Software License and will not rely on external Javascript libraries. When it comes to Flash controls for media playback, existing libraries will be used.

You should take a look at the Tests and be aware of the current Limitations (some of them will remain)

Gradual Enhancement

If a browser already supports HTML5 (1% Safari & Firefox 3.5 RC users), the library will do nothing and rely on the browser’s implementation, which usually offers greater performance and higher playback quality.

Formats

If you want to support all browsers, you should create following video and audio formats:

• OGG (Firefox 3.5)
• FLV (Flash fallback Firefox<3.5, MSIE, Opera)
• Quicktime h.264 (Safari 4)
