Apple is nuts - Video compression via JPG/JSON/canvas

Yeah, nothing found here that's really all that interesting other than the fact that the iphone can only display video tags at fullscreen. More like apple fails...

I suspect that you got sidetracked by the retina display thing.

This is cooler than that.

What exactly is a MPEG other than the 3 frame types (I, P, B) where you end up taking one I frame and then using the P and B frames as often as you can and the I frames as little as possible. What Apple did is basically took a limitation of their platform - not being able to use the video tag in a non-fullscreen way - and hacked together a rather inefficient and costly (processing wise) solution. A neat read through in terms of the math involved and the work they did - but not revolutionary...nor commendable.

Limitation of Mobile WebKit, not the iOS platform, Android suffers the same limitations. :sneaky:

Strangely, the iPad seems to do embedded video just fine in iOS 6. I watched a clip on redlettermedia.com last night and it plays in the page with a full-screen option.
