A place where any topic is likely to be written about. Short videos showing life in space, rants on misdeeds by the movie or radio industry and maybe some personal war story from 30+ years in the computer age. No, I do not write machine code anymore - retired.
My daily workhorse computer is an Intel iMac, 27", 10.6.8 and chrome browser that Google calls obsolete. Yeah, a perfect system except Google and now Amazon Prime Video will not function. Why? One reason is DRM is driving the browser bus now. Another reason is Adobe Flash and HTML5.
To kill Flash forever the browser must treat flash as a bug; 1. If browser has flash plugin then allow no video to play and embedded video becomes a vector to Youtube.

It never fails; find a cool flick that "seems to be authorized" by one party and it gets taken down by someone else. It is hard to tell how much buzz a youtube post has been generating but at least there is worldwide buzz for the movie. I would venture to say the youtube posting was not authorized by Eros International.
The filmEndhiran per October 23, 2010 Indiatimes was kicking ass in theaters, that is, making money like a printing press. I don't think Eros International was worried about online jacking revenue more than any other film. But the DVD release may have changed the playground rules in a way Eros may not have expected.
The DVD and VCD release in March 2011 was a good thing; giving folks a chance to buy the film is always a good thing. As far as I recall Endhiran was posted by a rental site before I noticed the film in November 2011. That folks is not nice, only Eros (the distributor) can approve the youtube posting of the film.
So, the posting was wrong. Did Eros lose any revenue due to "theft" of viewers? No, if anything the opposite happened; like where can I buy the DVD. Ok, that is my collector brain talking so what about the free is free? TANSTAAFL plain and simple.

Sci-Fi 'ish music videos make for better testing than some dry lecture; really is better than blah, blah, blah. Well, some say p0rn is more fun but this is a G-Rated test. [tip: Want to surf p0rn sign up with a company that filters it and proof those URL submits.]
First up is Lady Gaga. My ears tire of pop music quickly but the video is interesting. This embed (The Red One) is fully customized (via youtube); size, color, privacy, what's related and fullscreen. It is standard Flash HTML code.

The Red One - Looks dated huh?
The Second embed is HTML5. The fun part here is when the browser is not HTML5 ready - plain old Flash player is used. The question is: what will google do? Sorry couldn't resist that. So, what will youtube do a runtime? I don't know, will see.

Should see the minimal light silver player.
Last but not least we need Aliens. How about green and blue ones? Wish granted.
{

Ok, that one is just for fun. Aliens have killer weed? Yeah they better, they have the killer spaceships.
Results:
1. I expected both embeds to finish the same, i.e., just a replay button. The only difference in the setup at youtube was putting a check mark in the iframe box, they should be the same; no next video just a replay button. A side effect of pressing next video is a black screen when video ends.
