HTML5 video
Our programmer Alexey Kharkov ( oleksiykharkov ) today finished work on providing the ability to view VKontakte videos using HTML5 - just what habrayuser wrote about in previous comments.
Due to the fact that we encode our videos in H.264 format, you can still view videos using the HTML5 player only in Google Chrome and Safari browsers. Opera and Firefox currently do not support this format.
Now the video "VK" is viewed from devices such as the iPhone (with the OS version above the third) and the iPad. The format applies to all new videos, including those uploaded in the last week. Over time, the old video, we also translate into this format - to process such a huge array of data immediately impossible.

Especially for owners of such devices, we organized a temporary search option - iPhone / iPad.

At the same time, we added the ability to export the player to external sites. You can insert videos through IFrame, that is, you can watch our videos via iPhone and iPad on other sites. However, not all Runet services are allowed to embed an IFrame. For example, it was not possible to export videos to Livejournal and Habrahabr. The head of Livejournal told us that their company will maintain this standard in the future or we will reach an individual agreement with them and make an exception for our videos.
Starting today, VKontakte users can also attach internal media content (photos, videos and music) to their personal messages - this you have probably already noticed. And the maximum video quality is now increased to 720p.
Errors are likely, but we will follow the comments.
Enjoy watching!
