Define normal.
One problem is web browsers never have included a native way to handle a video
format in any standard or defacto standard way. This led to Flash being used
to accomplish that. There were some attempts to do it in Java as well. But
these are dependent on the way corporations do program development, which do
not practice portable methods very often.
A web browser can do animated GIFs. That's been around for ages. Animated
GIFs is certainly no substitute for a real video. But it shows that a web
browser can handle a continuous activity in a portion of the display. What
we need is for popular web browsers (like Firefox) to add a _direct_ video
capability as simply another data format type it supports, either as an
embedded object, or as the whole "page" (URL points to the video). Sound
support needs to be included in that.
Which formats to support? The unencumbered Ogg Theora would be the first one
to go with. The others that have patent and other issues would have to be
worked out. And it may be that plugs are the only "legal" way to accomplish
it (but they need a safer way to do plugins that doesn't require root/admin
permission, and disables any way for that plugin to access anything that the
web browser didn't set up when the plugin was run).
I would like to see support for .ogg .mp4 .wmv .avi and .dv formats. Is that
too many or not enough?
