ToonMariner Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 ok guys - I have never had to do this before - never needed to use large media and indeed thought bad of using it in a site but now I have to.Client has an mp4 (wants that so that people can put on ipod without any other conversion) I have encoded the original using videora but appreciate there will be other converters out there.Anyway. I am using strict xhtml so the embed tag is can't be used - ist the object. This is what I have now:[code] <object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="320" height="240" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"> <param name="src" value="/userfiles/media/wn.mp4"> <param name="autoplay" value="false"> <param name="controller" value="true"> <param name="loop" value="false"> </object>[/code]copied form various places but the page simple shows a quick time icon with a big question mark - I have googled this and it seems most people get that when qt is trying to play flash files but not found much that helps.If anyone can point out some glaring error in the html that i need to change please tell me straight away. Any other comments on what needs to be done to get this to work would be a god send.Thanks in advance guys..PS here is the page it its on.[url=http://waringnetts.contrastcompany.co.uk/showreel]http://waringnetts.contrastcompany.co.uk/showreel[/url] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32953-solved-putting-mp4-on-a-site/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenway Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I assume you know the resource itself is valid? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32953-solved-putting-mp4-on-a-site/#findComment-155011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkendSoul Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I pretty sure that the problem is with browsers themselves. .mp4's aren't that popular, and I do not think they have proper codecs in browsers.

ToonMariner Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 OK doeky... I suspect what DarkendSoul suggests may well be correct...I think I'll just make a an mpeg from it and have a link for the mp4 download cheers guys!
