Multiple HTML5 media elements on one page in iOS (iPad)

Question

My research has led me to learn that Apple\'s media element handler is a singleton, meaning I can\'t have a video playing while an audio is playing in

Answer 1

Could you use a webservice to merge the streams in real time with FFMpeg and then stream one output to quicktime?

To elaborate maybe a library like http://directshownet.sourceforge.net/about.html could also work. It looks like they have method

DESCombine – A class library that uses DirectShow Editing Services to combine video and audio files (or pieces of files) into a single output file. A help file (DESCombine.chm) is provided for using the class.

This could then be used to return the resulting data as the response to the call and loaded via the HTML5 player.
