Dreamweaver CS6 and MP4

Is it possible to insert MP4 files into Dreamweaver CS6 - and then once uploaded will those MP4 files play on most browsers?

I just read that if computers lacks Quicktime the video will not play.

I am attempting to avoid using links to my films on YouTube and Vimeo.

Looking for alternatives.

Let me know,

Thanks!

    Sounds like a bad connection, unless your video is corrupt.

    QuickTime is dead.  Apple stopped developing the plugin a long time ago.

    CS6 is about 6 years behind the current DW CC 2018.  But if memory serves, you could add HTML5 video from CS6.'s insert panel.  

    The code below works in all modern devices.  Change the poster image and video file to your own.

    <!doctype html>

    <html lang="en">

    <head>

    <meta charset="UTF-8" />

    <title>HTML5 Video Example</title>

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <style>

    video {

    height:100%; width:100%;

    display:block; margin: 0 auto }

    </style>

    </head>

    <body>

    <video controls poster="https://placeimg.com/525/300/nature">

    <source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4">

    </video>

    </body>

    </html>

    Hello

    Got the MP4 to play on the page uploaded to the Internet

    However the video keeps pausing, then starts.

    It this simply a poor Internet connection?

    Thanks!

    It is not a matter of placing the video in Dreamweaver, Dreamweaver is merely a tool that allows you to put an image into an HTML document. To do that have a look at this example Re: Controls over video issue

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
