HTML5 video is now OFFICIALLY AVAILABLE to all subscribers on Giant Bomb and Screened. DuderVideo has been updated to continue to work on Tested, Comic Vine and Anime Vice, and step aside when official video support is added. See last comment for more details!

Do you use Safari or Chrome(*)? Do you like Whiskey Media videos? Then I might have the browser extension for you! Introducing DuderVideo, the one-click solution to make all your favorite Whiskey Media sites play videos without using that pesky Flash player! DuderVideo integrates incredibly cleanly with Giant Bomb and all Whiskey Media sites, giving you smooth video playback without losing any of the functionality you're used to. A few pics to show off...

this is the best thing since the drill bucket! 

So their is html5 for all three video formats?

What's the advantage of using HTML5 than flash?

Does this allow me to maximize video without it minimizing when I do something on my other screen? 
 
If so I'll subscribe right now and get it. I'm sick of the addon I use to make this happen becoming outdated every two months.

Maybe I will check it out if it comes to FireFox.

Well, I'm not a subscriber, but this seems cool.
:\

Whoa. That is pretty awesome!

Can someone confirm if this is the case? I have the exact same problem whenever I'm trying to work but end up procrastinating. "

Check here. The downside is that you have to keep a copy of the hacked DLL somewhere in your computer, because Chrome updates stealthily and Flash may start minimizing in fullscreen again. You go to your AppData/Local/Google/Chrome folder and replace the newer file with the backup you made. Profit. "

" @Pinworm45:  @gunslingerNZ:  
 
The HTML5 video will maximise to the size of your browser window instead of doing a complete fullscreen. 
So (on Chrome, at least) if you tell Chrome itself to go fullscreen, then hit the video's fullscreen button the video will stay fullscreen while you do other things. "

Addendum: 
Fullscreen HTML5 video won't stop your screensaver from appearing. Also there appears to be a bit of a performance hit.

This is fantastic - great work rufo. 
So nice to be able to maximise inside a window; and have videos actually run smoothly for a change. My only concern is that Whiskey aren't getting the same metrics as they would from the Flash player - I suppose seeing as the quests are still triggered it's still OK though.

Rufo I fucking love you!  I can stream HD videos on my mac now without it sounding like it'll blow up.   
 
Dude, thank you so damn much.  Wow, my CPU cores locks at 30%, compared to the 80% I used to get using Flash.   
 
RUFO I LOVE YOU! 
 
EDIT:  Full screen works on Safari!

Wow you actually sold a membership with this, I'm damn impressed! 
 
Anyway, this is pretty awesome as I'd like to try to minimize my dependancy on flash as much as possible. Apparently every apple product I own hates it to death. I'm surprised Steve Jobs hasn't retroactively removed it from Safari in some devious update.

Video is very choppy on fullscreen on chrome

Dave said they were gradually gonna move to a fully featured HTML5 site as time goes on and more and more people use HTML5 compliant browsers, so I'm wondering if they got something else planned for the video. 
 
I really hope they don't ask you to pull it, this is the best thing I've gotten from being a subscriber aside from the mobile site (which I end up using more than the browser site).  This really is a godsend for us using OSX.  x.x

This is rad, thanks.

Gonna add the extension in Safari now and see how it goes. Thanks! I'll report back

As one of the countless contributors and huge advocate of the ClickToFlash project on Safari, I hate loading Flash for video as how much of a hog of resources it can be for a simple system process. Actually GiantBomb was one of my very few whitelisted sites. I was about to make something similar, but more hacky and less polished like this is. Now I don't have to as this is perfect! Great work and keep it up! 

I think my performance on my work laptop is not that much better viewing full screen HD video, and it's definitely not as good as downloading HD and playing in quicktime...  I like this idea, though.  I bet when Chrome acceleration really takes off this will be ideal.

cool cant wait till it is updated for all members!

Thanks for this. Works perfectly in Safari. I however am having issues with chrome. It is not taking and is continuing to play in flash. Do I need to be running a non beta versions of chrome?  
 
Currently running: 6.0.472.62 Beta

This is cool. Not super useful to me as I'm on Windows, but cool nonetheless.

Very awesome! Glad to see GiantBomb marching onward and upward!

Performance on my 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro.    

Wow this is pretty cool. :D I'll try it out :)

The only bad thing is on Chrome for Mac the video full screen button only fills the browser window and not the the entire screen.

Choppy fullscreen video on Chrome / Win7. Flash plays fine. Same with YouTube HTML5. 
 
I can't use it, but thanks for making this duder!

I installed Chrome 7 in hopes that the GPU acceleration might improve full screen HD video, but I think it just wound up being framey in a slightly less laggy way than previous.  I hope Chrome video playback improves, because the fact that the flash version runs smoother demonstrates a real deficiency. 
  
I think I'm still going to use this plugin by default, though, because I like how snappy the video loading is, and how your video loading progress remains in the web cache between page loads. 
 
Thanks for making this!  It feels like you're helping nudge the internet further into the future.

" @Clark: It works for me, however I'm running  7.0.517.8 dev. "

I ironically saw this on Gizmodo before seeing this forum topic.

If only the EVE Online browser supported extensions, it is based on Chromium. It would be nice if i could watch videos in while playing eve online. 
 
So please implement native HTML5 video in the website.

@Clark: I'm running the same version of Chrome (though without a beta moniker) and haven't had any problems. I feel a bit silly for asking this, but are you sure you're logged in? If you're logged in (or not a subscriber), the extension simply won't load - and I actually ran into that myself, once...
 
And, to everyone - thanks for all the awesome feedback. It's great to hear people are liking it! (Though it sounds like your mileage may vary in Chrome until Google speeds up their video support...) "

The only two things I would complain about when viewing HTML5 video in Chrome on a Mac is the inability to go completely fullscreen. Also when you pause the video and try to play it again, it goes black and I have to reload the page. Great programming otherwise!

Thank you!!

Whoa, crazy. I had no idea that this existed until now. Cool stuff.
