IA Embed and different browsers, and Opera looks good lately

Really Firefox? Crying about a plugin? Firefox can not display the embed of the Internet Archive document viewer without a plugin. Opera could see everything, and the video and audio looked especially good too. I guess Chrome is still the best browser if you want to be able to see everything, but the version of Opera that is available for Linux is actually really good too. It might have to get used more. Maybe. Seems to me there were a few sites that didn't like it, though. I'll have to check it out some more first.

But Chrome is what can see all the audio/video/embed/other. opera seems super fast though. Hmm...

But what about from Vimeo?

But what if the source were Vimeo? Well, let's give it a try and see. Remember, I will only use html video, not an embed of video. If that doesn't work, I will leave it out.

Non, C'set le meme chose avec YouTube.

Another attempt with a different video source

I'm still wondering if it is possible to use a YouTube video as a source somehow, without using the embed code to cheat. I will probably attempt the same with a Vimeo, and perhaps other video and audio sites, in other posts.

Apparently, can only be done with an embed code if one wants, Google Chrome at least, to see anything but a black box where the video should be. Since it is my goal to post html video and audio, not embed, I left this out.

Another test, as my method didn't work on some other site.

A certain blog hosting service, that will remain nameless, didn't accept my html code for video. Just to prove that it should work, I am attempting to post the same video here. I may attempt to embellish it, as I have done on a third site with a different source video.The video below, should it work, will be a version of Robin hood made for TV in the 1950s.Problem is, the posts all end up with the same css style for video. In other words, I end up doing one post, and all the videos have the same color border and background. Why? Again, Chrome and Firefox are best. Added another file that should play on tablets and phones...maybe.Video should be updated to play on tablets. Will test periodically.

Html5 video/audio: Some ramblings based on the little I may have learned so far.

So far, I would have to believe that the best browser for html5 video/audio is, hands down, Chrome. Firefox is a close second, and perhaps it is a tie. I have, with some difficulty, been able to create html5 code that will create an audio/video player that works most of the time (unless/until it stops working, which happened once) in both of those browsers. Opera is third. Does Opera not support mp3? I don't know, but there is some reason my one file in mp3 format doesn't play in Opera. Internet Explorer is too hard to know. Perhaps the newest version will play some of my audio/video creations. Maybe not though.

HTML5: If it works in IE, It might not in Firefox

It seems, as best as this humble novice html code writer can discover, that if you use mp4 video as the source, Internet Explorer might play the video. Then, all of a sudden, Firefox might not. Chrome seems to play all the formats. It all has to do with the format surely now. So, three browsers will play OGV and WebM, while IE needs it to be in mp4 format. And a lot of people still use IE. Tomorrow, I'll try to sort this out so my videos and audios play on all browsers.

html5 writing and video attempt

I am trying to learn how to code in html5 adding the video element. However, it is difficult to find a source that will actually play.This one that I think now works comes from the Internet Archive, and is under the Creative Copyright listed for this video.

Just refresh the browser until it plays.

Aiff best copies

I may have gotten better at post-production finally to the point where I can sort of do it. Here are the best copies of songs so far.
