[WSG] RE: Video Accessibility Help
Hi Mike, I'd recommend the JW player for delivering Flash video: http://www.longtailvideo.com/ An example of an accessible result can be found on my own site: http://websemantics.co.uk/resources/embedding_flash_video/ I'm unaware of any service that'll create srt captions. If you find one please let me know. A text transcript should be considered essential. I hope that helps. mike foskett http://websemantics.co.uk/ -Original Message- From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:li...@webstandardsgroup.org] On Behalf Of Spellacy, Michael Sent: 15 June 2010 15:29 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] Video Accessibility Help Hi List, I was just wondering what some of the best practices were these days for creating accessible video on the web. A few questions: 1) I know some Flash players can pull in captions, but which ones to use? 2) Are there any services out there that will scan your audio track and create a captioned file for you (.srt, etc.) to feed into your player? 3) If you do succeed in creating captioned video do you also have to create a transcript of the video for those users who may not have Flash installed (or may not be able to access Flash using JAWS)? 4) Would providing just a transcript of the video, be all that is needed to meet basic accessibility requirements? Thanks in advance! I love this list!

[WSG] Mobile Validator Error Messages
Hi All, I've been looking at some of my sites with a view to making them more mobile-friendly, and as a first step, decided to run them through the W3C validator. (http://validator.w3.org/mobile) I'm confused, because it keeps throwing up the critical failure of The image does not match its supposed format. Please can anyone explain why this message occurs, and how to fix it? Most, but not all, of the affected images are jpegs taken on my digital camera. However, other images taken with the same camera pass without problem. They all have the same .jpg extension, so I'm at a loss as to what could be causing the problem. Any help will be most gratefully received!

You have created a page using a version of XHTML for which the correct MIME type is application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml or application/xhtml+xml but you're sending text/html so there is a mismatch, hence the warning. The recommended markup for mobile is now XHTML Basic 1.1 for which the appropriate MIME type is application/xhtml+xml but if you're sending to a device that doesn't support that (essentially just IE) then you'll need to do as you are doing and use text/html. However... this is a warning, not a failure, so you may decide just to leave things as they are ;-) Presumably you got this warning from the mobi Ready tool? This uses the same core code as the W3C mobileOK checker http://validator.w3.org/mobile/ (although we've added a lot of extra UI stuff over the last year or so). HTH Phil.
