I want to use a video player using html 5 and flash. Now the video player will be displayed on online exams and teachers will simply upload video files. I have basic extension validation where the teacher has to choose either .mp4, .ogg, .wav or .flv..
Now I want the video player to work on all major browsers and I do not want users to mess about converting formats. I want a video player which works for the above formats stright away on all browsers without any problems or conversions needed.
Could somebody recommend a video player which can do this? I tried to use jwplayer but realised after uploading an .mp4 file that it would not display the video until I convert the video. I don’t want teachers or students who have no knowledge or no access rights to be able to do this so that is why I want a different video player which just works straight away with ease.
Unfortunately not all major browsers support all formats.. it’s beyond the developer of the players.
The best solution would be to have a server side video converter that converts uploaded videos to 3 formats and displays the links in an html5 video player like projekktor.
