I have not been able to use HTML5 video action with Firefox. So I’ve been trying other options. I’m not sure what action or feature is causing this problem.
This page loads incredibly slow in Firefox 3.6.3. But loads fine in Safari.

Any ideas? Thanks for your time.

Pretty slow in Safari as well 23.32 secs - enough to drive folk away!
And that seems to be mostly due to your 320k mainbackground-5.png
Cant help feeling that you could reduce the size of that quite a lot.

Thanks. I noticed that I had checked “combine graphics”. I unchecked that and the page loads much faster on Safari, but still takes over 15 minutes to load on Firefox. The problem seems to be with the TransitionFX action. But I don’t know that for sure.
Here is the link again.

Are there four videos on the page? FF is probably loading them and blocking other resources until it’s done.
On the HTML 5 Video note, did you try contacting your host to get them to enable .ogv as a valid movie type on the server? It’s not as well a known file format as the others so not likely to be enabled. After doing so on our server the file played as expected:

I also made a quick update to the Action to add the dimensions of the movie to the video tag so you might want to download the latest version from Actionsforge:

This is going to sound incredibly ignorant, but I have to ask – what code does the .htaccess file need to contain in order to add the MIME yourself? My hosting service was no help as they said they do not support third-party formats…
Appreciate it.

Your htaccess should contain plain text something like this - obviously substituting the correct Mime type if these don’t work
AddType application/ogg .ogm
AddType application/ogg .ogg
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType audio/ogg .oga

Not sure if there should be a leading full stop before the file extension or not - try it without if it doesn’t work. ie
AddType application/ogg ogm

I still can’t get it to work, no matter how I configure the .htaccess file. My hosting account is with GoDaddy – could it be that my server isn’t compatible?
For the sake of clarity (and to offset the likelihood I don’t know what I am doing), the .htaccess file would theoretically contain all four lines of code that you have listed above?
When I upload the file with all four – regardless of the full stops – I get a server error that causes me to not be able to open any pages. But when I remove the .htaccess it works again.
Any suggestions? Again, I know zilch about it but have some great HTML5 video implemented on my site and Firefox users are out of luck until I can fix it, which I’d like to do.
Thanks for the help, it’s really appreciated.

Aaaaargh!!! Not GD again.
It may well be that GD does NOT allow the addition of Mime types using an htaccess file.
You do not necessarily need all 4 - only the one(s) that apply to your file types - if you are only using ogv then only include that line.
You will need to ask GD if their server (or the one that your site is on) allows Mime type addition in an htaccess file.

I’m willing to make public my absence of knowledge in the event it might assist someone as unlearned…
I saved the .htaccess file in plain text without word wrap, and Firefox is now translating the HTML5 video. Easy.

Do you mean you did NOT have it as Plain text before?
This is a most crucial point abut coding these sorts of files.
Anything other than plain text introduces all sorts of unseen formatting that will screw this up.
