<title>(HTML) HTML5 Mobile Video with Flash, Silverlight, Java, Animated GIF and Download fallback - bcmoney</title>
<link>http://snipplr.com/view/63451/html5-mobile-video-with-flash-silverlight-java-animated-gif-and-download-fallback/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ <p>Due to device capability inconsistencies and fragmentation, in order to play on the broadest range of devices, approximately 6 formats would be required:

Flash VP6 (IE 5-7, Netscape)
WMV ( IE7+, Windows Phone)
Ogg Theora (FF, Fenick, Opera, Opera Mobile)
WebM VP8 (Chrome, Android phones/tablets)
MP4 baseline H.264 (Safari, iOS devices: iPad/iPod/iPhone)
3GP via RTSP or HTTP (Blackberry, Nokia and other legacy Mobile devices)


Optionally... an animated GIF can be used for frame playback with no audio, not a great experience but works fine as long as text transcripts are available to accompany. Not really a serious way to transfer video though, just a desperate fallback (and was once upon  a time the only way to simulate video on a phone).

By my heinously imprecise math, the right combination of these should reach about 90% of internet users (2B) and 50% of mobile devices with video and/or internet capabilities (0.8B), which would be 2.8 Billion people.

NOTE: Omitting  "poster"  attribute of HTML5  tag lets us also reach those few iOS users who haven't upgraded from iOS3 versions, which had a player bug with poster was used. 

NOTE2: Likewise, turning off autoplay on all the players has two purposes, firstly we will only stream when we are sure the user wants to watch the video, secondly it avoids multiple players starting automatically on page load (which would require alot of obtrusive Javsacript and player juggling to prevent from happening).</p> ]]></description>

<title>(HTML) New Object Embed for SWF - digitalzoomstudio</title>
<link>http://snipplr.com/view/57017/new-object-embed-for-swf/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ <p>Hey guys, I struggled a little to find a crossbrowser, non repetitive params way to embed swfs; this object embed works flawlessly for me in all browsers - ie7, ie8, safari, chrome, firefox. Why is swfobject and YouTube using this format - http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation ( scroll to static embed ) ? The flaw with that is that you have to change width/height/flashvars 2 times rather then my method where it's only one ... 

So anybody knows why they are using that ? Does it work in IE6 ( I can't test this .. ) ? If that's the case - I don't care about ie6:D</p> ]]></description>

<title>(HTML) HTML5 Video: Simple Embed - rtcrm</title>
<link>http://snipplr.com/view/53264/html5-video-simple-embed/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ <p>- HTML5 video displayed for those browsers that support it.
- Falls back to Flash video for non-HTML5 browsers (below IE9).
- Placeholder image displays for non-HTML5 and non-Flash browsers.
- Does not rely on JS.
- Does not include download links.  
- If using "ClearOverAll.swf" for Flash controls, make sure it lives on same level as the HTML page!  (Otherwise, the controls won't appear.)
- Make sure MIME types are on the server hosting the HTML5 video files!  (Add to cpanel, not the .htaccess file.)</p> ]]></description>

<title>(HTML) Cross-Browser HTML5 Video With Flash or Silverlight Fall-back - blueocto</title>
<link>http://snipplr.com/view/48500/crossbrowser-html5-video-with-flash-or-silverlight-fallback/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ <p>Until recently, playing video files in a web page was notoriously complicated. The user requires a Flash or Silverlight plug-in and even the simplest HTML is a confusing mess.

Few HTML5 features excite developers more than native audio and video. The  and  tags allow you to play media files in an HTML5-aware browser without a plug-in. The elements also become part of the DOM so you can create your own player controls, add captions and synchronize JavaScript events with media playback. As a bonus, the basic HTML5 code is far easier to understand.</p> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ <p>Well almost ;) This should really cover most any browser out there. If no HTML5 support will fall back to flash, so for this example Flowplayer is required, but any flash video would work.

also FP will play many different formats not just flv.</p> ]]></description>

<title>(HTML) Standard Flash Player Embed - FLV - mennyj</title>
<link>http://snipplr.com/view/35851/standard-flash-player-embed--flv/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ <p>[via rtcrm]
Needed:
- Video in FLV format.
- video_player.swf (standard player, which resizes for any flv).

Notes:
- SWF and FLV files can live anywhere.
- Location of FLV is relative to the location of video_player.swf.  (see below - only video_player.swf needs the folder name.)</p> ]]></description>
