Video help, html5 mp4 for firefox work around...

Hey I thought HTML5 would be an easy way to pop some videos up on a site until I figured out Firefox and IE8- Can't see it!!!! IE8 isn't surprising but come on Firefox!

Here is what I have:

Code:

<video width="800" height="500" controls="controls">

  <source src="http://www.mysite.com/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">Your browser does not support HTML5 Video.

</video>

I tried this: http://videojs.com/ BUT it makes it load really slow on Chrome now, loads slow on IE9 and has bugs in Firefox where you click play and it looks like nothing is happening for a full minute then just starts playing.

What should I do?

You need to "hint" the video, or move the moov atom.

Hit me on ICQ. It's in my sig.

Don't you also have to offer an OGG or WebM version of the file for FF? I think it should default to a Flash Player for IE8 or you can use a JavaScript.

Don't take my word for it though - This is similar to what I am playing with as well...

its coming...its a bit late but mpeg dash seems to be pretty solid...at least the bits of it ive been able to fool with

first it should play on anything the codec is h.264 and the container is mp4 vut can be mov or others.

its a on time encode that encodes the file into pieces each piece is multiple bit rates. this allows for easy ad insertion AND a very dynamic adaptive streamability it can auto adjust to changing bandwidth dynamically.

It also supports current drm schemes sorenson produces the video but so far I havent found a player for it.

I could never get it to work in every browser so I broke down and bought a program that's turned out to be a lifesaver. I don't have anything to do with them except use their product.

You sure about that? I've always thought FF only accepts ogv or webm.
