Session description
With three different audio and video codec formats each supported by the diverse HTML5 capable Web browsers, plus the need to deal with fallback for older browsers, HTML5 media is not the simple solution we have all been hoping for. But on the other hand, HTML5 media will make your life easier, since it offers some features that are hard to get with traditional Adobe Flash, such as a standardised JavaScript API, integrated CSS support, and built-in support for accessibility and internationalisation through captioning, subtitling, and audio descriptions. Additionally, devices such as the iPhone and iPad will only support HTML5 media and not Flash. So for any serious practitioner it’s a technology you can no longer ignore. W3C invited expert Silvia Pfeiffer will talk through the big issues on this important topic.
