When I tried to view Basil's video streams yesterday, it worked with Firefox 3.5.x on both Linux and Windows, but failed with Chrome 3.0 on Windows XP.? I get opposite results with http://www.citizenofplanetearth.org/citizen.ogg The only browser I've tried that plays that video is Chrome 3.0 on Windows XP. The <video> tag I'm using is about as simple as can be. <video src="citizen.ogg" controls="controls"> your browser does not support the video tag </video> With Firefox 3.5.x, I see a rectagular area where the video player should be, but am unable to play the video. Unsurprisingly with Internet Explorer 7.0, I just see the text "your browser does not support the video tag." BTW, I recorded that video with a Canon FS100, which produces native MPEG2 format video. Then, I opened that file with kdenlive, which allowed me to compress it with theora 2-pass into 600 kbps ogg format, very easily with just a couple of mouse clicks. Happily, once I have a video clip in theora format, I can re-open it with kdenlive, perform a few additional basic edits, and then re-save it in theora format. This is encouraging considering this is kdenlive version 0.7.5. Regards, John Kintree http://www.citizenofplanetearth.org PS The video is at the bottom of this page.

When I open that page in Firefox 3.5, I see a page full of bizarre textual symbols. In "Page Info" firefox tells me that it thinks the mime type is "text/html". Chrome must have some sort of type autodetection, whereas Firefox trusts the server. You need to alter your server configuration. --Ben -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Specifically, in .htaccess: AddType video/ogg .ogv AddType audio/ogg .ogg Also, use .ogv for all Ogg video content to avoid confusing applications that rely on file extension. -Ivo

I would recommend, if you can, also making an h.264 encoded version of the file for two reasons: 1) It would allow Safari users to see it w/o needing to install extra stuff. 2) It would allow you to use flowplayer as a fallback for IE and Opera users. Yes, you can use cortado as a fallback to play .ogv content, but many users do not have Java installed and to be honest, Java really is not the best tool for the job. Hopefully basic ogg vorbis/theora comes to flash soon. I wrote a php class to embed multimedia content this way: http://www.clfsrpm.net/embedMedia/ You can see the results here: http://www.shastaherps.org/herps/AmericanBullfrog#multimedia It uses html5 media as priority and flowplayer as fallback, and as far as I can tell, only gives issues to the webkit gtk browsers that have incomplete html5 media support (they don't have a control bar yet, so since I don't autoplay, they have no way to start the media) No JavaScript is required (like some solutions) to get standards compliant video embedding that "just works" using my technique.

I made that modification, and Firefox now plays the video with the .ogv extension as well as Chrome does. Regards, John Kintree http://www.citizenofplanetearth.org
