Good to see a second implementation of the VIDEO element introduced by Opera in february-march 2007 and proposed for standardization to the WHAT WG.

Anyone can get the Windows build of Opera with VIDEO enabled and read about it in A call for video on the web.

Regarding SVG, Canvascape is NOT made using SVG but Canvas, hence the name. Also all the examples work in Opera.

Ever heard of Google Maps, just to name one. More to find on my earlier mentioned links page. Remember SVG is not someone’s brand, there’s no marketing like with Flash. You’re right that people love “Flash, the ‘IDE’”, not “Flash, the format”, and once someone is stuck with one thing, they usually don’t change easily. SVG is catching up in tools. See the section on my page. Please report on the web if you decide to try a few.

Same goes Theora. Wouldn't the web be a much nicer place if every browser just came with built-in Theora support so that you didn't have to bother with codecs and just know as a webadmin that whatever browser that's gonna visit your site will be able to play your videos ? As it is now, we have flash players but they are all pretty crappy and often I find myself having problems streaming some videos (from e.g. youtube) even though I have a fast 8mbit connection :S How's the tools for making apps and games in SVG ? I think that alot of people tend to use flash because of it's easy-to-use IDE (if you can call it that) ?
