I want to use help videos for a new vps company but I dont want to depend on programs or software like flash player cs6 or host my videos on networks like you tube.Ive decided to use the <embed src> tag and somehow I know it will have its pinpoints like that it might not work with mp4 or flv files ,well my question is if you think that <embed src> will work with other operative systems diferent than windows like linux,in case my clients use that on their computers and...if you know other method that could work for me-?

Thanks B4 handed

    Use a video hosting site and embed it using an IFRAME approach.
    The video site will take care of different video formats conversions.

    Are you using WordPress? Have you tried qSandbox yet?

      No need to be rude. The guy tried to help you but in all honesty
      you're post didn't make too much sense.

      I'm guessing English isn't your first language.

      You might try re-phrasing your question in a better way then
      you stand a better chance of getting responses that you're
      looking for.

      What you ultimately do is up to you, but if you carry on with
      the same kind of attitude as you've shown here, don't be too
      surprised if nobody can be bothered to help you.

      Good luck

      Steve

    nginx (pronounced engine-x) is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. Igor Sysoev started development of Nginx in 2002, with the first public release in 2004. Nginx now hosts nearly 12.18% (22.2M) of active sites across all domains. Nginx is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption.

    nginx is off topic

    Without pretty lies heres an example of what is not being OUT OF TOPIC

    Playing Videos in HTML

    Example

    <video width="320" height="240" controls>
    <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
    <source src="movie.webm" type="video/webm">
    <object data="movie.mp4" width="320" height="240">
    <embed src="movie.swf" width="320" height="240">
    </object>
    </video>

    Problems, Problems, and Solutions

    Displaying videos in HTML is not easy!
    You must add a lot of tricks to make sure your video will play in all browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera) and on all hardware (PC, Mac , iPad, iPhone).
    In this chapter W3Schools summarizes the problems and the solutions.
    The <embed> Element

    The purpose of the <embed> tag is to embed multimedia elements in HTML pages.
    The following HTML fragment displays a Flash video embedded in a web page:
    Example

    <embed src="intro.swf" height="200" width="200">

    Try it yourself »
    Problems
    • If the browser does not support Flash, the video will not play
    • iPad and iPhone do not support Flash videos
    • If you convert the video to another format, it will still not play in all browsers
    Using The <object> Element

    The purpose of the <object> tag is to embed multimedia elements in HTML pages.
    The following HTML fragment displays a Flash video embedded in a web page:
    Example

    <object data="intro.swf" height="200" width="200"></object>

    Try it yourself »
    Problems:
    • If the browser does not support Flash, the video will not play
    • iPad and iPhone do not support Flash videos
    • If you convert the video to another format, it will still not play in all browsers
    Using the HTML5 <video> Element

    The HTML5 <video> tag defines a video or movie.
    The <video> element works in all modern browsers.
    The following HTML fragment displays a video in OGG, MP4, or WEBM format:
    Example

    <video width="320" height="240" controls>
    <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
    <source src="movie.webm" type="video/webm">
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>

    Try it yourself »
    Problems:
    • You must convert your videos to many different formats
    • The <video> element does not work in older browsers
    The Best HTML Solution

    The example below uses 4 different video formats. The HTML 5 <video> element tries to play the video either in MP4, OGG, or WEBM format. If this fails, the code "falls back" to try the <object> element. If this also fails, it "falls back" to the <embed> element:
    HTML 5 + <object> + <embed>

    <video width="320" height="240" controls>
    <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
    <source src="movie.webm" type="video/webm">
    <object data="movie.mp4" width="320" height="240">
    <embed src="movie.swf" width="320" height="240">
    </object>
    </video>

    Well the ops previous example wasnt acurrate since is for swf files, but is an approach that could work remember I dont want to depend on fancy programs like flash player cs6

    When embedding videos, you normally need a player of some sort, a plugin to do the actual display. And the path to the actual video file is a parameter to that.
    Try a view-source on any site that actually displays videos.

    There are a few plugin filters that make this easier within Drupal. Embedded Media Field | drupal.org is easy. Media | drupal.org etc

    Embed video means to embed, or place, a video within the HTML code of the page you are posting on.
    You can add video using HTML code - you will need more then basic HTML knowledge.
    Embedding video player plugin is much easier. You just need to embed simple code provided by plugin creator.

    <embed src="http://www.tizag.com/files/html/htmlexample.mpeg"
    autostart="false" />

    My approach
    How can I embed video in without a plugin?

    You will have to use one of the unfiilted html plugins out there, or you can use our additional tags plugin to allow certain tags/attributes sitewide.


    a plugin like
    WordPress › Viper's Video Quicktags « WordPress Plugins

    works great

    other videos work directly because of oembed, but for self hosted stuff you need some sort of player

    /OP/I want to do it without a plugin

    <video width="560" height="340" controls>
    2 <source src="path/to/myvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
    3 <source src="path/to/myvideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
    4 </video>

    I just want to use the windows console so dont think this would work

    I'm so sorry for off topic.
    English is not my native language and again I'm so sorry to not understand what you want.

    I will remember your name. I will never ever answer your topic in future.

    Good luck in your path.
