On Monday morning, I helped Beet.tv executive producer Andy Plesser host his latest roundtable discussion on the future of online video, at The Guardian’s Kings Place HQ.
The forthcoming HTML5 standard’s Google-backed video feature now poses a potential challenge to Adobe’s dominant Flash video standard, and is a key piece in Steve Jobs’ refusal to support web Flash in iPhone and iPad. So in this video, I ask Adobe’s EMEA technical advocate Steve Allison and Flash-dependent video player firm Brightcove’s SVP Jeff Whatcott what lays ahead.
Their answer: HTML5 is interesting, it’s no Flash competitor just yet, but clients want to be on iPhone so we’re gonna have to support it…
