On Tuesday, January 27, 2015, YouTube announced that it had made HTML5 video its default instead of Adobe Flash, which is still be supported. What does this mean for Mac users?

May 26, 2020 The maximum version of OS X that this computer can run is Leopard (10.5.8) and you can download it right here from the Macintosh Garden and then burn yourself a DVD - make sure that you use a dual layer disc though. You could probably create a bootable USB instead if you prefer.
HTML5 video doesn’t require additional software, which immediately sets it apart from Flash video. Further, HTML5 video is supported on some older hardware and operating systems that Flash no longer supports – PowerPC in particular.
That said, HTML5 video isn’t a single thing. There are three different types of video encoding supported by HTML5:
Some browsers support all three, some two, some only one, and some old browsers none at all.
Each of these video formats has its pros and cons, with H.264 generally considered the most efficient, but with the drawback that it is not patent- or royalty-free.

I have been testing HTML5 video support on a variety of browsers supported by Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard on PowerPC hardware. My test machines are a dual 1.25 GHz MDD Power Mac G4 and a dual 2.3 GHz Power Mac G5. The test page I’m using is http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html
Video performance will vary depending on the speed of your internet connection, processor speed, the number of CPUs in your Mac, and your video card.

Our advice to Tiger users: Use Safari for H.264 and TenFourFox for Theora and WebM.
OS X 10.5.8 Leopard Results

OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Results
With the impending demise of Dropbox on Macs running Tiger and Leopard, a lot of PowerPC users are going to be looking at low-end Intel Macs, and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is the hands-down choice. It’s very similar to Leopard in the way it works (none of this Lion-and-beyond nonsense of replacing Save As… with Duplicate, for instance), is the last version of OS X that can still run PowerPC software, and has a smaller footprint than more recent versions of OS X.

Snow Leopard is Intel-only and will give you access to lots of newer software written only for the Intel OS X platform. If you’re on Intel, there really is no reason to stick with Tiger or Leopard; Snow Leopard is the cat’s meow.
I have a 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo Mid 2007 Mac mini with 3 GB RAM and OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard installed, which is my primary production machine alongside a 2.0 GHz Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook with OS X 10.9 Mavericks that I use when in the field. The Core 2 Duo Mini was fairly low-end when it was introduced over seven years ago and has become more so over time.
Our advice to Snow Leopard users: Google Chrome and Firefox both support all three HTML5 video protocols. Give each a try to see which you prefer.
