I enabled js and plugins on that page to be sure... and the video doesn't play. It's greyed out. so unless you tell me that one works we don't. from http://www.youtube.com/html5 * The HTML5 player has a badge in the control bar. If you don't see the "HTML5" icon in the control bar, you've been directed to the Flash player (due to restrictions listed below) *The HTML5 player also has a badge to indicate the video is using the WebM format. If you don't see the "WebM" icon, the video is encoded using h.264 so according to that you should see HTML5 WebM. Do you? I see HTML5 but no WebM which means it's using h.264. even if you append the &webm=1 which I suspect means youtube is smart and knows to fall back. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
