HTML5 Video Available on the Web – February 2011 Update
Over the last year we have been continuously tracking the rise of HTML5 compatible video across the web. This is the third installment in the series and we’ve got our latest results to share
In 1 year, the amount of video available for playback in HTML5 has jumped from 10% to 63%.
Discoveries We Made
- Over the last 12 months we have seen a rise from 10% to 63% of web videos becoming HTML5 compatible.
- H.264 is still the most common format, as it is compatible for playback in Flash as well as the browser natively.
- The overall amount of video available for playback in HTML5 is growing rapidly, but growth rate as a % is slowing (to be expected).
A Fracturing Video Landscape
In December 2010 Google offered WebM to the web community as The WebM Project – the latest in a line of codecs competing to be the dominant video format on the web.
- The current order of popularity: H.264 > VP8 > Ogg – However, VP8 (WebM) could get a boost if YouTube decides to use it as their default playback mechanism. Currently, a user needs to know how to call a WebM YouTube video.
- YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip TV & Vimeo are leading the way in increased support for iOS devices.
- Mobile devices now account for nearly 5% of our traffic (non Flash), up from 1% a year ago.
New Trends
The choices between Flash, H.264, Ogg, and VP8 means that if a video publisher wants full user support (and they should), they’ll need to support several formats for each video. Publishers are now having to address this cost/benefit scenario and the complications are compounded through tracking, monetization & delivery. Put simply, web video is maturing & becoming more complex.
Our Methodology
We used MeFeedia’s video index for this analysis (around 30M videos from 30K video sites). Our final tally included only video that can be delivered within HTML5′s “video” tag. In the vast majority of cases, this means videos that were encoded in H.264.
Our Video Index
MeFeedia’s index encompasses videos from many sources (over 33,000 different sources). This includes a number of content partners such as Hulu, CBS & ABC as well as video from popular sites including YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion & more.

H.264 is a neutral indicator, given that it plays in Flash and on iOS devices. Lots of Flash based sites are transitioning from VP6 to H.264 because of GPU acceleration, the fact that there will be no royalty and because it gives them a format that plays on iOS devices. It’s likely that most of this H.264 video is for Flash, yet you’re using it as an indicator for HTML5 usage?
To be truly HTML5 compatible, and serve all HTML5 browsers, a site would have to make video available in Ogg (for Firefox 3.5 and 6), OR WebM (Firefox 4/Opera/Chrome) AND H.264 (Safari/IE).
Disclosing growth in WebM and Ogg would be the real indicator of growing implementation of HTML5. Why don’t you disclose that as well?
