BuildMyWeb Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 i dont know much of anything about video. im trying to embed an HTML 5 <video> element. the original file is in .mov format. both video and audio seem fine in this original. im told this is not compatible with the HTML 5 <video> element so my best bet is to convert it to mp4. im using VLC player: http://www.videolan.org when i convert the .mov to .mp4, the file both locally on my machine (windows media player) and on my webpage plays the video with no audio. someone else told me to just simply rename the file from a .mov extension to a .mp4 with no 'conversion' necessary. when i do this, the file plays both video and audio on my machine locally but still no audio on my webpage. anyone that can offer any help?

requinix Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Go for an MP4 (which is just a "container" for stuff) using H.264 video and AAC or MP3 audio. Not sure how you did the conversion but make sure you're converting to those formats. when i convert the .mov to .mp4, the file both locally on my machine (windows media player) and on my webpage plays the video with no audio.Could be you converted without audio, or to an audio codec not supported by WMP or the browser. Is the MOV (preferably) or MP4 (to see what's wrong) online somewhere we can see? someone else told me to just simply rename the file from a .mov extension to a .mp4 with no 'conversion' necessary.Very wrong.
