That doesn't really tell you what the video is encoded with, mp4 is just a container.

If I'm reading this page correctly, you'll need Windows 10 to get it to work, so my guess is some proprietary format.

I am so sick of web-sites that refuse to show me content, telling me that I have to "upgrade" to firefox or chrome (both of which are lagging behind Maxthon) to view their arrogant, outdated opinion of what "cutting edge" content is.
The most recent occurrence of this was actually this morning, by bittorrentsync, which would not allow me to view its dashboard on this machine unless I installed chrome or firefox.
Naturally, I have now uninstalled bittorrentsync from all my machines. I'm paid to deal with that kind of cretinous behaviour at work, but I'm damned if I'll allow it into my home.
Needless to say, the page (and every other page that isn't manually blocked by stupidly elitist idiots) opens just fine in Maxthon, and the video plays just fine, too.
If anyone's desperate to see it, I downloaded a copy that I can upload elsewhere ('cause you can do that with Maxthon).
Alternatively, everyone could just upgrade to Maxthon.

Sorry, but I can't help myself:
Does this mean everyone who doesn't keep their technology at the level of Maxthon (which lags behind the two most popular browsers) is a stupid elite idiot?
If you were developing a site that used HTML5 and that worked fine on Maxthon, would it be fair of a user stuck with IE7 due to corporate, hardware or mere preference to you feel you were a stupid elite idiot?
Or (and I'm guessing this is the case) it's the use of new technology without a sensible fallback solution that gets your goat. (It certainly gets mine. My horse wants it back, please).

It's the attitude people have about browsers that I don't like, and it's been going on for almost as long as browsers have existed.
However, the old song:
-- This site works best in Netscape!
-- This site works best in IE!
And later:
-- This site works best in Firefox!
-- This site works best in Chrome!
Have lately become:
-- We won't let you use this site unless you install Firefox!
-- We won't let you use this site unless you install Chrome!
And, indeed, in the case of bittorrentsync: "You can't use this program unless you install either Firefox or Chrome!"
I've got just about every browser under the Sun installed on at least one machine, and it is extremely clear that the best performers are Opera and Maxthon (that's in reverse order). The only pages that don't open in those browsers are those where the owner of the page is childishly trying to push his preferred browser, and has blocked it from opening in others.
I'd had enough of that pathetic behaviour when it was just Netscape idolaters versus IE evangelists.
But now the Netscape idolaters are firefox idolaters, who "scraped the 'scape" (all the way to the bottom of the barrel), and still childishly believe that their behaviour will make friends and allies for them.
Your argument is the wrong way around. I don't insist that pages be made that work only in Maxthon or Opera (the two most HTML5-compliant browsers). I am complaining about people who insist that only their preferred browser be used, which is the exact opposite of what you claim that I am doing.
If you make a page that requires HTML5, it will work better in Opera and Maxthon than it will in whichever (of the 35,000) firefox or chrome version you have installed, so you don't block users of the better browsers from viewing it, and idiotically claim that your preferred browser has to be used.

Not to defend idiots, but are they actively blocking or just throwing up their hands and saying "for the 1% who use Opera it's just not worth our time to work around their foibles"?

Steady on: I merely asked "If you were developing a site that used HTML5 and that worked fine on Maxthon, would it be fair oif a user stuck with IE7 due to corporate, hardware (or mere preference) to you feel you felt you were a stupid elite idiot?
(Give or take a total mangling of my original post).
By this I mean: If you're insisting on a certain functional level of browser, does that make it elitist? And to be clear I was being tongue in cheek. I insist on a certain level of functionality in browsers - it's the only way to stay sane.
Or (and this is where I need clarification) is it more that you're seeing web developers insisting on a certain browser merely for the sake of a certain browser, even though plenty of other browsers (eg Opera and Maxthon) are perfectly capable of rendering the site's content?
(If this is the case then yeah: they deserve a slapping)

Precisely that.

Well, I settled for bitching about it, because they're not within reach of a slap.
The bittorrentsync this morning is what set me off.
It's a program that literally refused to allow me to use it (after I had installed it) unless either firefox or chrome were installed as my primary browser.

Oh, and I assume you don't also mean you've just grabbed yourself a Venge[^]. If you did then let me know how it is. I've been eyeing one for a while now.

Damn. Had bikes like that been available 20 years ago...
These days, I rarely get above 30km/h (partly because the bike I use most, lately, isn't built for high speed)(but that never stopped me before), and I've even had to fit a rear-view mirror because it's a struggle to twist to look behind.
I could probably improve on that if I could find a decent hill in this God-forsaken underworld.

Microsoft HoloLens goes beyond augmented reality and virtual reality by enabling you to interact with three-dimensional holograms blended with your real world. Microsoft HoloLens is more than a simple heads-up display, and its transparency means you never lose sight of the world around you. High-definition holograms integrated with your real world will unlock all-new ways to create, communicate, work, and play.

If you do it again, it's a good idea to put it in quote marks to indicate it is a quote - or you could be considered as spamming the site, and that would lose you your account...

Especially the bit about "saving huminity", I'm assuming that's something proprietary?

I think he meant to say "Saving Humidity" and got the wrong key?

Hologram: a three-dimensional image formed by the interference of light beams from a laser or other coherent light source.
This isn't a hologram. And honestly, it's going to be rubbish! Far less efficient than doing the same thing with a mouse or stylus in 2d!
Sure, it's nice to look at a real image in 3d using 3d glasses - but trying to model like that, waving your hands around in the air, sorry, just rubbish and nothing really new.

Yup. It looks cooler than the Fox's bear in Iron Man movies, but it would be a right royal pain in the @rse.
The keyboard, the mouse, the toolbar, and the menu. Those four things have proven time and time again that they are the best tools for working with computer applications.
