THAT my friend is a direct link. You took the raw video and linked directly to it... I understand how you got confused due to it being an "embed"... embedding IS a direct link to the file...the tag just tells the browser "hey I've linked some multimedia... use whatever plugin/native player you have built in"... but either way... you are DIRECTLY LINKING to the raw file... the only difference is that instead of an href link the file "MAY" play inline instead of spawning a seperate window/app.
NOW do you see my point? Do I need to explain why that practice was abandoned years ago? |
So, what exactly is your point? By that logic, flash videos aren't okay because they are embedded. Just a link to a flv.
Still, it really does nothing to my points. The iPad can play the video. Neither HTML5 nor Flash was used.
In fact, what point are you trying to make? I could make it more complicated by introducing some JS to pull the video into a complicated div structure with caption and what not, similar to what NYT does (FYI, NYT's site as far as I can tell from their DOCTYPE is not HTML5 but HTML4.). But it's the same concept.
