An obvious answer would be ok. Sometimes the most difficult solutions are in plain sight. I am not doing the images in a database, so I am looking at JS scripting. I want sure if the destination folder is required to be at the top of a script, or file some specific guidelines. I'm sure I'll eventually find the answer, but I was hoping for a clue that might help me save some time.

It always seems so simple.... LOL Hello to my old friends, I have been toying with adding an UPLOAD SCRIPT for moving images from a desktop to a website in order to eliminate the need to log into the server to post images. I've seen a few online scripts of various degrees and some with demos), yet the one blaring question remains: Where is the line that dictates where the files end up? So many of the scripts explain how wonderfully they look and operate, but they do not indicate where to edit in order to control the endpoint. Any insight, as well as guidance to avoid pitfalls with regard to this venture will be appreciated. Happy Halloween, as if coding isn't scary enough (at times). *wink*

Can I simply change the MP4 extension to AVI just to confirm functionality?

I opened the webpage in both Firefox and Chrome and got the same result. I'm going to conclude that since these are the same browsers that played the video from W3 (both while at their URL and after saving the file locally) that it is not a browser issue. How do I proceed regarding the codecs, or is their a simpler / more effective way to make a simple screen recording for use on a webpage?

This is a first time effort to create a video of my local pc workstation screen. Attempt #1 utilized an application provided in Windows 10 to create the MP4 file. Attempt #2 was to convert a Powerpoint 2010 presentation into an MP4 file Both seemed to go well, and produced files then when clicked independently on the desktop, will play their clip. However, when called from a local webpage "No video with supported format" is the message displayed where the working video is expected. <video width="400" controls> <source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg"> Your browser does not support HTML5 video. </video> <video width="400" controls> <source src="Presentation2.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="Presentation2.mp4" type="video/ogg"> Your browser does not support HTML5 video. </video> I borrowed a video clip from W3 and it seems to work fine, which leads me to believe that either I am creating a damaged file or the file is not truly MP4. The file PROPERTIES indicate it is MP4 in all instances. Where did I go wrong?
