What is the best way to organize videos on the site now? Flash vs HTML5?

Question

HTML

In the work we encountered difficulty in choosing - it is necessary to organize the display of video clips on the site. Some suggest doing it through wowza in a flash player, others - html5 and h.264
Help me choose an option :)

Answer 1

Flash vs. HTML5 _

Take an example from Google. Why 'or' when you need 'and'?

Answer 2

The question actually is whether people from devices that do not support flash will come to your site. If not, or a negligible percentage, then a flush.

Answer 3

Excuse me, but what's the problem with making two options? If you wrap the flash-insert inside

Answer 4

h.264 + html5 almost all modern browsers will support ... plus mobile users. (iOS) is many times better than going to the site and not being able to see anything.

Answer 5

there is a project that itself looks at what suits the user, whether it has html5 if not on flash, etc.
I really liked the library, I use it and recommend it to you
mediaelementjs.com/
There are also demos and examples

Answer 6

Best of all - through a third-party service with an API, let them track all fashion trends and players there.

Answer 7

HTML5, and it has nothing to do with apples)

Answer 8

I'm afraid so far only if both options are done ... Times are turbulent now, so we have to build additional barricades. ;)

Answer 9

As already mentioned, both Flash and HTML5. You just don't need Wowza (unless you're streaming live, of course). For pseudo-streaming (the ability to rewind to any place, not just downloaded) use the H264 Streaming Module h264.code-shop.com/trac
