Video Playing

Post by ssj4gogita4 »

Anyone know how to play videos IN a website? Like...go to mine and look at the "video clips" section link at the bottom. The first video wont show the video but it has audio and the third one wont play at all. What's up with that?

Okay first you have to make sure of the format of your video..
second.. well once you idured out the waht format is it.. eithe ryou change it so ppl can see it (ex: ppl on widows have windows media player.. so i usually i put my video in an a format readable by WMP)

mhh.. lots of ppl also have quick time dependingwho your targeting..

Sounds like you probably have codec issues. Sorenson(quicktime) is one of the most popular/common codecs, I recommend using it unless you know your audience very well or have control over their machines, in which case you might go mpeg-4 of some sort.
