Hi, I am trying to figure out how to embed a video into Dreamweaver Bootstrap that I took with my iPhone 6 in 2015. The information I have found online does not work. I have it as a.MOV & .mp3. I would appreciate some assistance on this subject.

Thank you.

Carolyn

Those file formats are not compatible video formats in the HTML5 world.  If you don't have encoding software, the simplest solution is to upload the video and host it on Youtube.  If you do have software, you will want to convert the .mov file to a .mp4 file for playback on the web.  The other file, .mp3, isn't really necessary as that is an audio track, unless, for some reason, you have kept the audio/video tracks separate in which case you will need to combine those files into the mp4 encoded file.

This describes the Bootstrap responsive video class and how to use it with your own MP4 videos or YouTube's embed code,  It ensures the aspect ratio is maintained on smaller screens.

As Ben said, MOV is not a suitable video file type anymore.  You would need to have QuickTime player + plugins which most people no longer own since Apple quit supporting QT.
