[WSG] Fwd: Video in web page
Hello, I would be grateful if someone could clarify the best means of embedding video into a web page so as to be viewable by the widest range of users (desktop, mobile, different OSs, etc). Embedding Flash video is easy enough, however, iPhone / iPad users cannot view this format and I need to address these users. (I would also like users of other mobile devices to be able to view the video, but the iOS issue has been insurmountable thus far). Alternative formats suffer plugin difficulties. As we know, support for the video element is still patchy. Has anyone managed to find a way through this obstacle course? If so, I would be grateful for your suggestions!

Hi, I would use youtube to embed a video in a webpage because i'm pretty shore that it defaults to flash but also has support for mobile and other devices. Youtube is really easy to implement, all you need to do is copy the embed code and it should work. You can however user HTML5 with flash fallback if you didn't want the video on youtube although this requires converting it to a few different filetypes for compatibility and can be hard to implement. Remember: Make the video accessible by adding captions and a descriptive text base transcript alternative.

http://videojs.com/ a) Flash, with HTML 5 fallback (iPhone/iPad users) and worst case...a link or b) HTML 5, then Flash as fallback... and, again, worst case a link Not perfect, but hopefully covers the scenario you're in. grant_malcolm_bai...@westnet.com.au Sent by: li...@webstandardsgroup.org 07/09/2011 02:57 PM Please respond to wsg@webstandardsgroup.org To wsg@webstandardsgroup.org cc Subject [WSG] Fwd: Video in web page Hello, I would be grateful if someone could clarify the best means of embedding video into a web page so as to be viewable by the widest range of users (desktop, mobile, different OSs, etc).
