For example, this crazy bunch of lines suggested by [http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Video-to-Flash-Converter.htm DVDVideoSoft]:

  • A place to play.
  • A place to spawn new pages.
  • A place to test what works.

Setting up for spam filters....

See whether these exist....

Setting up templates for submissions and linkings

Let's test it: Ephemera rectoA anim 125.gif

...and Ephemera02

Creating Collection of Tim Blickhan

Video experiments

Can we use HTML5 as hinted at elsewhere?

Take 1: HTML5 tagging <video> 

     <source type="video/mp4" src="Relache_039_Dance.mp4" />
     <source type="video/ogg" src="Relache_039_Dance.ogv" />

</video> Hmmm. Need to install some stuff....

Take 2: mwEmbed/Kaltura

It seems this has been displaced by commercial elements.

Take 3: HTML5video extension

<HTML5video type="HTML5" width="320" height="240" autoplay="false" loop="false">Relache_039_Dance</HTML5video>

Uploaded three versions of the video:

  1. Relache_039_Dance.mp4
  2. Relache_039_Dance.ogv
  3. Relache_039_Dance.webm

Hopeful, but challenged. Results so far:

  • Android 2.3.6 = Yes! Plays in its own window.
  • Chrome 17.0 = Yes! On PC running Vista Enterprise
  • Firefox 11.0 = Yes! Only after pushing MIME types as below.
  • IE 7 = Nope, not even after the MIME adjustment. Not even a box....
  • Safari 5.1.4 = Yes! On both Mac OS X Snow Leopard and PC Vista

Thanks to Video for Everybody for a few hints. Adding MIME types to .htaccess, for example.... Now, what to do about IE7 when Flash fallback doesn't work?

Well, there's always a link!
