Camen Design

> Okay, so on my screen that means 80% of the window is whitespace and it burns my eyes. background-color: black, I guess? Apart from calibrating the room lighting and monitor brightness, one can still have a dark background for the body but not for the wrapper that has max-size on it. E.g. http://camendesign.com/ here you would have white that burns your eyes if it was done without max-size, as is it's much better. [edit: just noticed that blog actually doesn't use max-size, it doesn't shrink; but it easily could] > Responsive design is a thing, yes, but ultimately on a desktop computer you're always going to be able to choose a browser size that breaks a site. Only if you make it too small.

Check out http://camendesign.com/ The last time I looked it had no ids nor classes.

Interestingly you can deliver vorbis audio natively, via Java, and via Flash 10 (see https://launchpad.net/fogg), so for audio you only need one format for 99% coverage. And despite that fact no-one talks about it, Vorbis is actually state of the art, competitive with both AAC and AAC-HE at their respective sweet spots but without the problem of AAC-HE degrading badly on decoders that only support AAC (e.g. Apple stuff). (Vorbis is also patent clear, used widely by big companies, well supported in hardware, and music seems to have moved away from DRM so it basically trumps every objection made to Theora.) For video, though people like to talk about H.264 as if it was a single codec, it's actually a family or toolkit designed to go from web video on small portable devices up to Hollywood Blue-Ray on 100" projector televisions. (I've seen people seriously claim Theora is unsuitable as a standard web codec because it doesn't handle film grain as well as H.264. Film grain!) Unfortunately you can't encode one H.264 stream that'll work on everything as encode and decode complexity ramp up harshly as you move up the profiles. I predict that since the iPhone (and similar) is the hot platform right now, and it doesn't have Flash, you'll see a lot of places following Kroc Camen's lead and encoding twice, one for Theora and one for iPhone compatible H.264 which will then be deliver by Flash for non-Theora platforms. http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody The kicker here…

I don't get targeting the iPhone yet featuring Flash on the home page. Your audience can play HTML5 or gracefully degrade to QT. It's about iPhone, but I can't see it on iPhone or iPad. Make pitch1.swf a .mp4 file, and use the embed stack here: http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody Try the second one from the bottom, w/o the Ogg lines.

I haven't tried this, but it looks pretty easy to do both. At least for using flash for the the video features provided by html5 http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody

May I suggest Video for Everybody? http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody

It might work better if the URLs in the video tag didn't 404 http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/video_for_everybody.og… http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/video_for_everybody.mp…
