If you guys are interested in running FireFox 3.5 or any other version and don't want to overwrite your current stable version, see this. IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!
Well, I just downloaded the FireFox 3.5 Beta 4 release for my Mac...and now I want to find this page or one like it to test out this functionality! Anyone know where it is?
Dailymotion's going to be supporting this functionality.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_5
Dailymotion is indeed one of the video websites promoting HTML5's <video> element, and has a page with a video running on that already up

You need the Firefox 3.5 Beta to view it though.
Currently there is YouTube's Chromeless API that tries to let you manipulate Flash Video through Javascript. But it's severely crippled because the player is compiled with AS2.

>> ^Farhad2000:
As web developer I believe this is completely useless. It ties web development to one platform. No one is going to build pages specifically for FF3.5s feature set.
As a web developer, I have no doubt you will learn the new features in HTML5 when the protocol is released, to be able to use them properly.
What I found more interesting is the video player swap, without interrupting the actual stream. At the moment, any attempt to do something like that would involve reloading the embedded object completely, as far as I know.

The HTML5 spec will not be out for a very long time. The same stuff was talked about when the IPv5 spec came out. Look at the adaptation rates of that. Not to mention most sites fail simple WC3 and CSS validation right now.
Apple, Nokia and other firms have spoken against the usage of Ogg codecs handling video and audio. Mostly because they have their own formats to protect and promote, like Quicktime.
Just color me skeptical.
But from what I can see this looks alot more interesting with actual benefits for the end user.
I mean who watches a video rotated to 45 degrees with an edge filter on? Do people do that just because they can, or because they want to?
Looks like all bells and whistles to me.
But why would you want to do half of this?

Those sorts of things look a bit silly but there seems more to it than eye-candy. You can also include links and text and make applications using video more interactive. And it's still early days for HTML 5.
worthless bloat.
"Bloat" as criticism, ironic when a big reason people are looking forward to this HTML5 functionality is because non-flash based players get better performance, and as a part of HTML 5, it would potentially be just as widely compatible (or more so).
Other reasons:

Yay!
I suppose I'll wait and see how it develops. Interesting none the less, with a great deal of potential as well. It'll be interesting to see how it goes, especially with MS pushing Silverlight as the "new" video streaming format, and flash10 having piles of issues right now.
Having developed in Flash / Actionscript I can tell you it's a real pain getting Flash and Javascript to play nice together. It's like they're speaking different languages...
