    Default HTML5 Video Site Script?

    There's no shortage of video scripts, whether its youtube-clones or original redesigns, freeware or paid for, but has anyone come across any that do not use Flash and use HTML5 instead? Thanks.

    No, and you likely will not for sometime. Two reasons. First, HTML5 is not finalized yet. The only real aspect to using HTML5 today is for the video capabilities. Second, not all browsers support HTML5 the exact same way. For example, Mozilla's Firefox browser currently only uses Ogg Theora for video. Safari, Opera, and IE (9) use H.264 encoded videos (which, BTW, is not the same as MPEG-4). IE 8 and below as well as older versions of Safari, Opera, and Firefox do not support it at all. This means that in order to properly support all browsers, one must encode the videos 3 times (one for flash to support older browsers, one for H.264 to support IE9, Safari, and Opera, and once more for Ogg Theora to support Firefox). Until you can encode a video once and it plays back on all browsers, you are not going to see Flash going anywhere from the script perspective.

    Thank you for the reply. I am aware it currently only works effectively on webkit browsers excluding Firefox, that's fine and the intended use, not interested in IE/Opera etc...

    I am also aware that such sites DO exist. There are currently H.264 video sharing, streaming and hosting sites that use html5 instead of flash and work perfectly on non-flash enabled devices.

    I was enquiring about the availability of any such ready-made scripts, as opposed to having a custom made job done. Thanks.

    If they are available, they are not here. This is a support forum for a particular script, vShare. You will need to make your inquiry on another forum as we do not hold discussions on other scripts.
