I don’t post too many videos to Keefr.com — just not a whole lot of videos circulating out there about front end web development.
This one from W3Conf is great though — all about CSS, and worth watching all the way through to the end.

One of the annoying things with HTML5 over using the Flash plugin is that video and audio formats are different from browser to browser and even within browser versions. Firefox is trying to make that landscape a little easier — finally giving in and utilizing H.264 video for its desktop web browser. Woo hoo!
Came across this the other day: good list of standard and common issues that come up when dealing with developing multimedia on the web.
Don’t have a ton of experience with dealing with videos, video players other than the occasional video embeds from YouTube or Vimeo over at my sister site, Keefer Madness. But recent projects I’ve worked on at work has exposed me more to video — both Flash-based players and the HTML5 video tag.
Speaking of video, might I also recommend checking out JW Player — a favorite around here.
I’ve found embedding videos and making them be responsive to be quite a challenge. My favorite CSS site came to the rescue once again:
Great article from the Opera developer site on creating your own CSS3/jQuery-based HTML5 video player. Great reference article.
The Web keeps getting better, and you can continue to thank the ingenuity of JavaScript wizards. This is a 30 frames per second demo of a JS H.264 decoder. Pretty freaking cool.
A lot of the hubbub around HTML5 and media surrounds video, and browsers only supporting certain codecs, while others are only support separate non-compatible codecs. Well what about video’s visually challenged little brother— audio. Until a couple weeks back, I hadn’t played around with embedding audio into an HTML5 page. Turns out, it suffers from a lot of the same issues that are still swirling around HTML5′s video tag.
Luckily for both, there’s a jQuery plugin that does browser detection and allows CSS to be the source of design and styling:
