   From: "David T. Johnson"    
      
   I tested the firefox 12/4/2010 build that R. Walsh uploaded to netlabs    
   and the HTML5 WebM video actually works on Youtube with the firefox v4b8    
   build...which I have not seen previously. It has to be a video that    
   youtube has converted to WebM (most are not...yet) but, if it is, you    
   will see the player controls in the window with a little tag 'HTML5    
   WebM' at the bottom. The video quality is very good 360p which is much    
   better than the old flash 7 plugin could offer on OS/2. You might have    
   read that Google (the owner of youtube) and Microsoft are locked in    
   battle over the HTML5 video standard. Microsoft is supporting H.264    
   while Google is supporting WebM which is completely open source and    
   without any IP restrictions. Microsoft has put H.264 support into    
   Internet Explorer 9.   
      
   here's the link to the OS/2 firefox build:

   You can join the HTML5 video trial here:   
      
   http://www.youtube.com/html5   
      
   and then click on the 'join the HTML5 Trial' link at the bottom of the    
   page. Have fun...
