Oooooh nice!!!
this is a whole new paradigm - resizing by rotating :) or maybe it’s just sloppy vector math… but impressive all the same. the most impressive thing is that the javascript looks really easy, so you don’t need to read manuals before coding. but where are the videos? these are images from flickr
…inspiring. Great demo.
@dskgj… have a look at buishcoder blog, he explains everthing.
@dskgj, I’ll be putting the video.svg I used to make the video up this weekend. I’ve delayed it as I’ve not pushed the firefox video element source code patches to my repository yet with the changes required to run it.
You can get earlier builds and examples from:

Here’s the current spec on the
videoelement: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#videoQuite nice demo, give new dimension to the web. But which browsers gona to support the video tag except firefox? (As i am working on web applications and most of users are using IE)
Charlie, You should let Microsoft know if you want to see the video element in IE. The more people that ask, the more likely it is they will implement it.
Failing that you can use something like mv_embed:

excellent work nice to see.
