This code (which requires Mootools but could be easily rewritten to avoid that requirement) allows you to provide a better experience for users of very old Flash Players (which don't support H.264 playback) and working video for Firefox users (without encoding any OGG files). The code should be run onDomReady, and only if there's a `<video>` element on the page. Due to my requirements, this code only addresses the first `<video>` element on the page. The video element should be enclosed in a `<div>` or other suitable container.</p> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:13:32 UTC https://snipplr.com/view/21666/getting-video-for-everybody-working-without-encoding-an-ogg https://snipplr.com/view/21592/autogenerate-thumbnail-in-equivalent-location-unless-one-has-been-manually-created <p>Not particularly novel, but quite clean. Allows you to put images in any location on the server and saves having to generate thumbnails at upload time. The URL to this file should be: `<filename.php>/<request>/<path>` Valid request types: * `view` — View the image full-size (don't scale) * `preview` — View the image at a medium scale * `thumb` — Show a thumbnail of the image Images can be JPEGs or PNGs. Broken URLs redirect to a designated 404 image. Thumbnails and previews will be stored using an identical folder hierarchy inside the `thumbnails` and `previews` folders inside the images folder.</p> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 01:22:21 UTC https://snipplr.com/view/21592/autogenerate-thumbnail-in-equivalent-location-unless-one-has-been-manually-created
