“This might be a foolish comment but if i have uploaded numerous family videos to YouTube. 5 years from now i want to view them…. I presume they will be accessible even if i have to download and old plug-in?”

My guess: highly likely.

This might be a foolish comment but if i have uploaded numerous family videos to YouTube. 5 years from now i want to view them…. I presume they will be accessible even if i have to download and old plug-in? My point being is (yes i have back up of family videos) but I want to be able to go to my digital scrap book 5 years from now or 15 years from now to view videos, pics, etc… i dont want to have re-upload all these old videos so they can be viewable in a new browser.

the On2 software could be useful (also) to develop a new (Wii/PS3/Xbox-KILLER) Online Gaming Platform, as predicted and explained four days ago in my GoOS blog: http://ow.ly/iScX

I agree. HTML5 is the future (now). I hate plug-ins. Mobile and web apps are where it’s at!

Prediction:
Within 5-10 years you won’t have desktop computer anymore. What you will have is an always on, internet aware mobile device that slips in a docking station within your monitor. Like the Palm Pre/WebOS but more advanced.

Both Flash and Silverlight can do much more than video playback…

I’m a big fan of H.264 and HTML 5, and I’d like to see CPU-sucking junk, like Flash and Silverlight consigned to the Elephant’s graveyard. Go Google! I also think this integrates well with Google’s ownership of YouTube.
