Oh, flash player. How you used up 5 million hours of my childhood playing useless online games and putting up with you… CRASHING!

Ok I think its finally time for me to move from Flash Player. Today, it’s the end of me using it on Youtube. I’ve turned on the HTML5 BETA, and when viewing the 720p HD videos, looks AMAZING. Finally I can watch videos without huge loading times, lagging and everything. But, what’s the best, is I can now watch 720p HD videos.

Before, when I tried to use HD videos with the Flash Player, my computer lagged a bit, the video took ages to buffer. But now, here I am watching a 720p video while doing a video import in iMovie.

I really hope Youtube adopt this feature in the future, and hope they will allow videos to work when on a Youtube channel, allow videos with Ads, allow video embeds, and also allow TV shows to play with it. I really need a good HTML5 TV show website!

I think Flash will eventually die in the online video world. HTML5 is just much better. With support from the major browsers, I think it’s great. Even some website work great with HTML5 which would of required Flash. HTML5 is the future.

However, I still think we need Flash, and I still don’t agree entirely with it not being on the iPad, but just with all these websites starting to use HTML5, it’s brilliant.

Other Video websites, like Vimeo and Dailymotion, which work with HTML5 are excellent.

So if you are fed up with flash, and want a better way to watch videos, try the HTML5 Player now at youtube.com/html5, and the more people that join, the more attention they will give it and the more features it will get!
