This will probably be old news to some. TIL, HTML5 video embedding
sounds promising, but ain't here yet. I know I'm a n00b at this, but
does it really need to be this hard? Any suggestions will be gratefully
accepted.
* Chrome works fine, even with just the basic video tag. Chrome also
seems to stream much better than IE or FF, which are really stuttery to
play. I have the preload option on.
* IE worked eventually after adding a few meta cryptic tags and
re-encoding in H.264. Unfortunately, my slideshow maker (ProShow
Producer) squirts out video in xvid codec. So I had to re-encode it.
* Firefox was disappointing. No H.264 support out of the box; had to
install the WMP plugin to get it to work. There seems to be a workaround
to double encode in OGG which I'd do that if I had the space.
* Can't test Safari or Opera, so I hope this works.
Does anyone know how to tweak the 'control' option to have full-screen
available on IE and Firefox? Only seems to be available for Chrome. Its
a 1080 file, so it's a shame it can't be viewed that way.
On a side note, I thought I'd kill two tech birds with one stone.
Adorama gave me 20GB with Pogoplug for free, for life. I tried uploading
the video file to save room on my personal sitespace. But darn it crawls
along with uploading, and not that great downloading either. Will do
further investigations.
Anyhoo, here is my first '5 vid

Oh, happy new year, everyone. Hope you stayed out of trouble.
Video runs okay on my Mac running 10.6.8 using Safari 5.1.7 but Firefox
3.6.16 unable to show ('X' in the middle of the frame).
Same here with Firefox 3.6.6
