Just noticed that YouTube have a beta HTML5 player that supports the <video> tag. If you’re using a supported browser, it’s possible to sign up at: http://www.youtube.com/html5

I’m currently testing it in Chromium on Ubuntu 10.04 and ... it doesn’t seem to work. Anyone else having better luck?

I tried it with Chrome on Ubuntu 9.10 and didn't have any problems with it.

I also tried it with Chrome and didn't have any problems. However I think it's going to be a long time untill HTML5 because browser friendly.
