Ok so the W3C guys want people to use HTML video instead of Flash. So
far the take up has been pretty low.

The big content producers (BBC) say they need DRM to make the switch from Flash.

The FSF movement is going to block W3C to not solve the problem.

So we left with Flash plugin for year and years to come?

The root problem is the content producers guys. Get onto the BBC.

p.s. anyone noticed my little tool to do screencasts in HTML5 video?

And can you explain why flash is ok - and html5 without DRM is not? As far as I can tell there is no DRM in the flash - its just a pointless pain.

Just because someone doesn't explicitly say it doesn't mean they don't also consider DRM in Flash to be bad :P But a bad thing on a bad(proprietary) platform is expected :P
