VIDEO FOR ALL ?

Question

Is there a current DWcc solution that provides video solution for all browsers and devices other then stacking various <Source> formats...OR are paid services required ? ....

I'm not seeing any errors.. here is the page line 195.

Are you using Chrome for testing by chance?

The video plays fine for me here.

If you're using Chrome, it may be a sticky cache that's keeping you from seeing the video.

Run your page through the validator at http://validator.w3.org/nu or under File > Validate> urrent Document (W3C) in DW to get a listing of your issues. There are some problems with your html that should be taken care of.

If you're not familiar with the <video> tag, you can do it from DW's Design View interface easily enough...

1. Click where you want the video and go to Insert > HTML > HTML5 Video

2. In the Properties window, add your .MP4s location to the Source field and a still frame to the Poster field

3. Add a Title and Fallback text for ancient browsers

4. Don't use the W/H boxes, width and height should be controlled in CSS, not HTML.
Also skip the Flash Fallback field, there's no reason for it now that Flash is officially on deathwatch
5. Add the .WebM and .OGV files in the Alt Source 1 and 2 box if you need to support old browsers
