Hello Guys

I have seen many wordpress sites which run MP4s as the video content.

When I tried it on my own site, JW Player was the only one that could , but It only worked with IE 7 and not in other browsers.

I think its the player plugin I am using

Can anyone make a recommendation so I can try out.

    Perhaps you've installed JW player incorrectly?

      there are literally hundreds of wp plugins to play music and video, is there some special condition that you are trying to meet or just to play mp4s ? Also, mp4's are kind of not to great for the net, have you thought about taking a few minutes to convert them to a more friendly format such as flv or .mov?

        I agree! It's better to convert the format either in flv or mov. Then it would be easy for you to play the video.

    I know about flv and I had to go that route, but MP4s are smaller and seem to be everywhere I look these days. I simply wanted to see if I could implement them too.

    Any other suggestions?
