The thought ran in my mind to create a pure Javascript based video player. I wondered if it were possible and where would I start. I did some quick search and found this: http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2008/04/making-javascript-video-player.html

It is a pure javascript based video player! and the idea is pretty clever. Using PHP and mplayer on the server convert a video file into individual image frames, then use AJAX and stream the individual image frames in the JSON format. Display it on the web page using javascript.

It's an awesome idea and the author has 2 test videos as well. I like it! (but I want to better it :D. May be some time...(soon? :) ))
