Streaming flash video has started its slow but painful death.... w LINK

Here is the start of a slow painful death of Streaming flash-based videos.....

I don't think that Flash Websites, or Flash-based animations are going anywhere anytime soon, but Flash converted steaming video (like HULU) will die and be replaced with HTML5 formats.

CBS is beginning the process and the iPad is the conduit.

Does HTML5 allow for the insertion of ads into the video timeline?

Good question. This is the reason that flash is so widely used for video, right? I remember reading that somewhere.

If that's true then it's another reason flash video should be banished, forever.

I haven't heard tell of HTML5 prviding any such functionality.
