Just updated the Pink Cloud Events website with a new video. My work consisted of encoding the video into 3 different sizes of both Mp4, and Ogg using FFMPEG, and FFMPEG2THEORA at optimal bitrates. Both Mp4 and Ogg filesizes are nearly identical in filesize and quality. This implementation of the video on the web uses the default HTML5 video player controls provided by the browser. I then use JavaScript to detect if HTML5 <video> is available and if not I replace it with a Flash video player, except for Safari which is known to have poor HTML5 video playback support. This was a quick turn-around of one day.
- Video playback on this website is supported by using free software browsers such as Firefox and Chrome without the use of any plugins or JavaScript. They are encoded to the WebM format only, you can find the videos in other formats, such as H.264 and Flash, by visiting their source. It is possible for me to copy the videos on this website, because they are freely licensed — mostly.
