HTML5 video testaroo

Please refresh your window if the video is not displayed.

The video above is simply Episode 105, but we are testing out a beta version of Longtail’s HTML5 video player. The bandwagon has arrived, people, and we have jumped right on it.

I cannot guarantee that the video will play for you. Safari should be able to handle it; Firefox is still going nutso. It hasn’t been tested in Chrome yet because hitting CTRL+Space, opening an instance of Quicksilver, and hitting CH+Return IS JUST TOO MUCH FOR ME.

We’ll be playing with the code some and updating this post a little bit, but let us know if you can/cannot see anything. Break out the iPhones and iPads!
Updates on this post after the jump.
