Flash Video vs. HTML5 for the iPad

New column on the Huffington Post:

This week, a colleague and I were trying to create a simple Flash video player via Flash CS4. While the process is fairly straight forward, the HTML file created by Flash CS4 had 318 lines of code — for something that takes an external player, such as the JW Player less than 10. The same video can be embedded by using HTML5 in one line.

Most of the code generated by Flash is un-necessary and it’s no wonder why so many Flash applications crash on a consistent basis.
