Sorry for the off topic, but hoping someone here can point me in a direction and end my endless googling... I have some mp4 training videos that our users need to be able to download or stream directly to their browser. I have the h.264 module loaded on httpd on centos (using http://swimminginthought.com/streaming-mp4-video-webserver-solved/#). So I think I have most of the infrastructure in place, but I'm not sure how to setup the streaming for all browsers. Do I need to embed some type of player? Like a flash player? Do browsers, Firefox and IE,. already have a player I can make use of? Any help or direction here is appreciated. Thanks, James

Another popular option is flowplayer: http://flowplayer.org/ Either way I guess you will need to create a web page that offers the training videos. Regards, Patrick

I use it on Centos 5.8 and the Windows version on Vista. HTH Keith
