Developer’s Description

By Mozilla Labs
Get audio and video from your browser.
Rainbow for Firefox is an early developer prototype from Mozilla Labs that enables web developers to access local video and audio recording capabilities using just a few lines of JavaScript. The add-on generates files encoded in open formats: Theora (for video) and Vorbis (for audio) in an Ogg container. The resulting files are accessible in DOM using HTML5 File APIs, which may be used to upload them to a server.
