I registered with smil@...2562... I was notified of my acceptance but my questions but they were never posted. There is no SMIL player in the Ubuntu repositories. I don't really want to manually compile one, or use a windows based one, or pay for one.
SMIL just seems unsupported.
From what I have read, streaming video has made SMIL less desirable.
I don't have any real experience with it but it looks like a great idea. I would love to be able to use this to animate my SVGs and to control the audio. I could convert the video after to another format for mass viewing.
Is there another alternative to SMIL?, something that can be used to dictate the timing of individual images and audio files?
Sorry if this is off topic-Patrick
Hi Patrick,
While the W3C SMIL working group is currently inactive, this doesn't mean that SMIL is dead.
In fact it is implemented in Opera, Apache Batik, the Adobe SVG viewer and partially in Webkit. Mozilla is devloping SMIL support. This means that SMIL is probably ubqiuitous in most modern webbrowsers in a couple of months. Furthermore it is implemented in many mobile viewers, such as Bitflash and Ikivo. Finally, SMIL is also implemented in Quicktime and other media players.
If you want SMIL questions to be answered, you should contact the W3C SVG working group, which currently answers SMIL questions or would work on a further development of SMIL.
