<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) 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>

<title>(HTML) Bulletproof web video - myke</title>
<link>http://snipplr.com/view/41984/bulletproof-web-video/</link>
<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>

<title>(HTML) Video for Everybody - mennyj</title>
<link>http://snipplr.com/view/35849/video-for-everybody/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ <p>[via rtcrm]
Video for Everybody is very simply a chunk of HTML code that embeds a video into a website using the HTML5 `` element which offers native playback in Firefox 3.5 and Safari 3 &amp; 4.

This is native OGG video playback in Firefox 3.5 (you get H.264 playback in Safari). No plugins to install. The video is played by the browser itself. It loads quickly and doesn’t threaten to crash your browser. 

In other browsers that do not support ``, it falls back to Adobe Flash:
You can host locally or embed any Flash file, such as a YouTube video.

If Flash is not installed, QuickTime is used which allows playback on the iPhone.

If QuickTime is not installed then Windows Media Player is used in Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7. This means that it is actually almost impossible for the video to not play in IE8 on Windows 7. Even without Flash and QuickTime, you’d have to disable Windows Media Player or all ActiveX entirely!

Finally, if all else fails, a warning is issued that provides links to download the video, and links to software relevant to getting the video to play within the browser itself. Since this is just HTML, you can put anything here you want.</p> ]]></description>
