Mozila Labs release new browser add-on rainbow for Mozila Firefox 4.0.Rainbow add-on gives firefox audio and video recording option…..
Mozilla Labs has been working hard on browser-based audio and video not just for playback, but also for recording. Labs’ newest creation, called Rainbow, lets developers access your hardware’s video and audio recording capabilities with a few lines of JavaScript.
files created are all in open-source formats, including Theora, Vorbis and Ogg (support for WebM and other formats are planned in the product’s roadmap). Once media is captured, files can be accessed via the DOM with HTML5 File APIs.Mozilla also wants to enable live streaming video capabilities for the add-on.
However, is still a pre-alpha prototype at the moment. As such, it only works with Firefox (Firefox) nightly builds on Mac devices.Another Mozilla experiment we’ve liked a lot lately is Chromeless, a DIY tool for developers who want to create their own web browser UIs.
