Yesterday we published an experimental build with support for the <video> element and 3Dcanvas for the "standard geeks" to play with :-)

This build is based on Opera 9.5 Alpha so if you want to play with this please remember to not install ontop of a existing version.

You can download it from the article on dev.opera.com.

We have added new native controls and you can also embed Video in SVG.

You can find video examples here:

• native controls
• scripted controls
• scripted with opacity
• Wikipedia-based demo on parrots
• Wikipedia-based demo on octopus

Some pages using the video element in SVG:

• clip-move
• video-reflect
• video-filter

And a dancing and lip syncing to Spice Girls wannabe video of Lachlan from Core QA
