Re: Tools for playing video on a site

I’m on Google Groups too. Maybe the developer of html5media can help > Dave Hall

[edit]
And he has … :) … html5media was meant to be this easy … and (after all) it is!

A new conversion of the original file (.m4v) into a .mp4 did the trick. All done with the Miro Video Converter (Mac)

Re: Tools for playing video on a site

I am looking for a solution to replace, finally, my iWeb way of publishing movies to share with family. I copied all my files from MobileMe to my server and edited all the various html and css files to make it work on my server.

But today iWeb frustrated me to no end and i came here looking for a better solution.

I think that using html5media and Miro Video Converter I should be able to then upload the videos and have TxP do the rest.

Are there any plugins that may be necessary and that I should consider?

Anyone else accomplished the replacement of iWeb publish with textpattern?

I was inspired by the howell radio podcast writeup to think of textpattern as a video delivery platform

Re: Tools for playing video on a site

I was reading about html5 video recently. Unfortunately converting to one format is not necessarily the best way. Maybe this will be of help.

and for some final irony the video at the very bottom of the page plays without sound on Safari. … at least for me. i had to open it in Firefox to hear the sound.

It worked fine on my safari. In any case I think that the text is a good summary of the principles for html5 video.

Re: Tools for playing video on a site

One more, though it won’t do Flash video (to my knowledge): JPlayer — I’ve used this for Flash-free audio file and it’s really good at that.
