[YouTube-API] Re: Is YT iFrame a native VIDEO tag in HTML5 ?

Hello Zdravko,

The current default format for <iframe> embeds is Flash video. Flash
might not always been the default for all browsers, but it is for now.

If you've opted in to the HTML5 trial at http://www.youtube.com/html5
and your browser has that opt-in cookie active (i.e. you're not
running in an incognito session or on a different browser) then you
should see HTML5 <video> by default, assuming there are no ads-related
restrictions that would require Flash.

Cheers,
