I’ve made a screencast to describe some of the new video capabilities and how they can interact with the rest of the open web technologies we’re building into Firefox 3.1. Although I’ve embedded it below with a video tag (with a fallback to vimeo) I strongly suggest that you view the full sized version in either OGG Theora format or Quicktime H.264 for maximum clarity. It’s als up on vimeo.
You can find more information about using video and audio and web workers (threads) on developer.mozilla.org. Also I suggest that you follow the web-tech blog if you want to find out new features as they are added to Firefox. Enjoy!
