I have performed my frst venture into html5 video using the video for everyone

  • 0

I have “performed” my frst venture into html5 video using the video for everyone and it works well in IE, Opera, Saf, Chrome, FF.

I have one small question – Safari (at least on my windows laptop) seems to want to download the whole darn video before it shows the first frame, or the buttons work – all the others stream it in the way I was expecting.

Has anyone got any ideas why – or more important how I get it to work more effectively!

Here’s the code

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<!-- MP4 must be first for iPad! -->
<source src="http://www.visievoorisrael.nl/images/stories/jos01/video/rootsAndReflections002b.mp4video.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> <!--Safari / iOS video    -->
<source src="http://www.visievoorisrael.nl/images/stories/jos01/video/rootsAndReflections002.theora.ogv" type="video/ogg" /> <!-- Firefox / Opera / Chrome10 -->

Thanks!

    It’s the video encoding. I had issues with this too. Some conversion tools do it for you, others don’t.

    You can run qtindexswapper on it to move the index of the video from the end of the file to the front.
