		<title>HTML5 Media and Accessibility presentation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I was invited to give a talk at my old workplace CSIRO about the HTML5 media elements and accessibility.
A lot of the things that have gone into Ogg and that are now being worked on in the W3C in different working groups &#8211; including the Media Fragments and HTML5 WGs &#8211; were also of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google&#8217;s challenges of freeing VP8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since On2 Technology&#8217;s stockholders have approved the merger with Google, there are now first requests to Google to open up VP8.
I am sure Google is thinking about it. But &#8230; what does &#8220;it&#8221; mean?
Freeing VP8
Simply open sourcing it and making it available under a free license doesn&#8217;t help. That just provides open source code for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accessibility support in Ogg and liboggplay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the recent FOMS/LCA in Wellington, New Zealand, we talked a lot about how Ogg could support accessibility. Technically, this means support for multiple text tracks (subtitles/captions), multiple audio tracks (audio descriptions parallel to main audio track), and multiple video tracks (sign language video parallel to main video track).
Creating multitrack Ogg files
The creation of multitrack [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to display seeked position for HTML5 video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I was asked for some help on coding with an HTML5 video element and its events. In particular the question was: how do I display the time position that somebody seeked to in a video?
Here is a code snipped that shows how to use the seeked event:

&#60;video onseeked="writeVideoTime(this.currentTime);" src="video.ogv" controls>&#60;/video>
&#60;p>position:&#60;/p>&#60;div id="videotime">&#60;/div>
&#60;script type="text/javascript">

		<title>Audio Track Accessibility for HTML5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have talked a lot about synchronising multiple tracks of audio and video content recently. The reason was mainly that I foresee a need for more than two parallel audio and video tracks, such as audio descriptions for the vision-impaired or dub tracks for internationalisation, as well as sign language tracks for the hard-of-hearing.
It is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Government Report: &#8220;Access to Electronic Media for the Hearing and Vision Impaired&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was the last day to provide a submission and input to the Australian Government&#8217;s discussion report on &#8220;Access to Electronic Media for the Hearing and Vision Impaired: Approaches for Consideration&#8221;.
The report explains the Australian Government&#8217;s existing regulatory framework for accessibility to audio-visual content on TV, digital TV, DVDs, cinemas, and the Internet, and provides [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tutorial on HTML5 open video at LCA 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During last week&#8217;s LCA, Jan Gerber, Michael Dale and I gave a 3 hour tutorial on how to publish HTML5 video in an open format.
We basically taught people how to create and publish Ogg Theora video in HTML5 Web pages and how to make them work across browsers, including much of the available tools and [...]]]></description>

		<title>HTML5 video: 25% H.264 reach vs. 95% Ogg Theora reach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vimeo started last week with a HTML5 beta test. They use the H.264 codec, probably because much of their content is already in this format through the Flash player.
But what really surprised me was their claim that roughly 25% of their users will be able to make use of their HTML5 beta test. The statement [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video Streaming from Linux.conf.au</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
You probably heard it already: Linux.conf.au is live streaming its video in a Microsoft proprietary format.
Fortunately, there is now a re-broadcast that you can get in an open format from http://stream.v2v.cc:8000/ . It comes from a server in Europe, but relies on transcoding here in New Zealand, so it may not be completely reliable.
UPDATE: A [...]]]></description>
