Tie in a video

Which format is best?

Why does a video not show up, when the page is in HTML 5 and the setting in Inspector is on “video”. It shows up when setting is “Quicktime”.

I have all formats: mp4, avi,wmv, whatever you want. There is only one person who cannot see the video (he dont want to install the quicktime plug in into his IE.

There will always be one!

The simple fact is that with the prevalence of iPods, iPhones and iTunes there are fewer and fewer people that don’t have the QT plug-in.

Can you share a link to your page so that we can see the construction behind it.

And tell us how you added the video to your page - any actions etc?

I think I would try the Html 5 Video action and serve up mp4, ogg and webm versions too.

At the moment your method relies on the visitor having the QT plug-in and there is no fall back.
