One thing that would be extremely useful for BlogMyData users is the ability to view animations of data, with the ability to step through them frame by frame. What options are available to us? Usual web-based video players (YouTube-style) don't allow frame-by-frame advance/rewind.

- HTML5 will not be compatible with old browsers, and would we have to do some bespoke coding anyway?
- Javascript has high compatibility, but we'd need to code our own solution and deal with potential complexities like dealing with large movies. We'd need access to individual frames as GIFs, PNGs or JPEGs.
- We could develop a Java applet, but client-side Java on the web is not really a nice solution on the web...
- ...Flash might be better but rules out iPhone/iPad access
- We could simply provide a link to an AVI or similar, which would open in the user's video player (if one is available)
