HTML5 video for everyone!

Posted on | maart 12, 2010 | Reageren uitgeschakeld

HTML5 video tags make embedding videos into documents as easy as embedding an image. All it takes is a single <video> tag. Unfortunately, not all browsers natively support HTML5 video tags.

Enabling video tags in all major browsers

To enable HTML5 video tags in all major browsers, simply paste the following code into the <head> of your document:

<script src="http://html5media.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/html5media.min.js"></script>

This will allow you to embed videos into your document using the following easy syntax:

<video src="video.mp4" width="320" height="240" controls autobuffer></video>

You can see this code in action at: http://static.etianen.com/html5media/.

Please read our GettingStarted guide for more information.

Help! My video won’t play!

It’s probably encoded incorrectly. Videos should always be saved as h.264 (mp4), or Theora (ogv) files. Find out more on our VideoFormats page.
