YouTube Launches Video Editor 65
Jamie noticed that YouTube has announced a built-in video editor that lets you actually edit video online. The editor lets you manipulate video you've uploaded to your own account.
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.

A video editor built into youtube. Excellent! Can we remove the fingerprint then they add to files for "copyright" enforcement? No? Then it's a rubbish editor.

See, if they had the option to specify copyright, users could be shown a vast library of other videos and songs they could use to edit.

Hey I am still waiting for a feature so complicated, they haven't gotten to implementing it after all these years: a link to a video file. I purged all flash on my computers: I am just that afraid.
Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report states that a remote code execution in Adobe Reader and Flash Player was the second most attacked vulnerability in 2009. -WIKI
These affect GNU/Linux plugin just as well, so burn in hell, Adobe. And you, Web designers, get a clue and link to your bloody videos so that people can get it and watch it regardless of which browser they use.

Wow, that's a really fantastic video editor. It doesn't even work for me in Safari, Chrome, Opera and Firefox.

this is among the issues that Flash is supposed to solve
How does it solve it for text-based browsers? It cannot in principle. What about low-profile yet very capable browsers like NetSurf or Midori? I am not against embedding video, I just want a fail-safe option, and it's not like it's a hard one to implement. DDOS issue is avoided trivially by either running a torrent (popular video) or limiting the number of connections (unpopular video).

I too, am I waiting to stream YouTube videos with ELinks over SSH. If only people stopped using flash I'd be able to view the web properly.
