FlashToHTML5 is my very first Safari 5 Extension.

We all know it: the standard YouTube Flash Player is a big CPU and memory hog. That's exactly why I created FlashToHTML5, my very first extension for Safari 5.

If possible, FlashToHTML5 will replace the CPU and memory hogging YouTube Flash Player with an HTML5 player. Not only will it look nicer, you will also notice that your computer will run cooler and faster. If you use a laptop, you will also notice that the battery life of a fully charged battery will increase.

EXCELLENT!

Using a DualCore PowerMac G5/2.5GHz (a machine which you can't buy), I had chopping YouTube videos.
Now they play smoothly, even while they're loading!!

Try it. My guess is that it will most likely make some videos display instead of doing nothing, as I've heard that nothing Flash will work on iPad. HTML5 is not Flash, so replacing the Flash objects with HTML5, makes me expect it to work with iPad.

Really awesome, cpu usage go down a lot in HTML5 videos. remember that if there is no HTML5 version of the video you will load flash.

It would be nice to have it on official Safari extension page.

I tried this extension for 24 hr 5/8/11 . I do not know very much about this field. But my movie clip performance from the news sites I use was sort of all over the map in performance and attributes. start right up long delay ads and no ads sound breaking up. So for the present it is back to Flash. My 2⊄ worth.

Great extension but obvious room for improvement.

The extension doesn't handle embedded videos, and a button to change resolutions would make it prefect.

When I enable this extension and play a YouTube video, I get TWO sound tracks playing (almost) simultaneously. Disabling this extension fixes the problem. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I just learned about this extension today and although it's not perfect, it's pretty cool. ^_^ Thank you for this. =D

This would be a nice extension, but there is no way to play the video in full screen - if there is - please let me know.

There's a button on the right side with two arrows pointing opposite directions of each other on the video. Look ~>

It converts flash videos into HTML5 videos just fine.

However, temperature goes up significantly on HTML5 videos, too. Sometimes even worse than with flash videos. The fans of my MacBook Pro kick in just as much as with flash videos,

Anyone else this behaviour? Any suggestions?

I've tested this newer version thoroughly and found no problems either with embedded videos or with YouTube itself. The problems with earlier versions I've reported here may have been due to conflict with other YouTube extensions, most of which I've deleted as unnecessary. This and iTubeX are all I need and they work well.

FlashToHTML5 will also automatically load the video at the highest quality available, WITHOUT advertisements! The only downside is that subtitles and user-captions are not displayed, but that's something that I may add support for in the future. ;-)

Some videos on YouTube are not available in a format that can be played by the HTML5 player, so if that's the case, FlashToHTML5 will automatically switch back to the standard YouTube Flash Player.
