-<p>As part of the work we do in <a href="http://www.nuug.no">NUUG</a>
-to publish video recordings of our monthly presentations, we provide a
-page with embedded video for easy access to the recording. Putting a
-good set of HTML tags together to get working embedded video in all
-browsers and across all operating systems is not easy. I hope this
-will become easier when the &lt;video&gt; tag is implemented in all
-browsers, but I am not sure. We provide the recordings in several
-formats, MPEG1, Ogg Theora, H.264 and Quicktime, and want the
-browser/media plugin to pick one it support and use it to play the
-recording, using whatever embed mechanism the browser understand.
-There is at least four different tags to use for this, the new HTML5
-&lt;video&gt; tag, the &lt;object&gt; tag, the &lt;embed&gt; tag and
-the &lt;applet&gt; tag. All of these take a lot of options, and
-finding the best options is a major challenge.</p>
-
-<p>I just tested the experimental Opera browser available from <a
-href="http://labs.opera.com">labs.opera.com</a>, to see how it handled
-a &lt;video&gt; tag with a few video sources and no extra attributes.
-I was not very impressed. The browser start by fetching a picture
-from the video stream. Not sure if it is the first frame, but it is
-definitely very early in the recording. So far, so good. Next,
-instead of streaming the 76 MiB video file, it start to download all
-of it, but do not start to play the video. This mean I have to wait
-for several minutes for the downloading to finish. When the download
-is done, the playing of the video do not start! Waiting for the
-download, but I do not get to see the video? Some testing later, I
-discover that I have to add the controls="true" attribute to be able
-to get a play button to pres to start the video. Adding
-autoplay="true" did not help. I sure hope this is a misfeature of the
-test version of Opera, and that future implementations of the
-&lt;video&gt; tag will stream recordings by default, or at least start
-playing when the download is done.</p>

-<p>The test page I used (since changed to add more attributes) is
-<a href="http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20090113-foredrag-om-foredrag/">available
-from the nuug site</a>. Will have to test it with the new Firefox
-too.</p>
