The HTML5 CSS Starter Page Series The HTML5 CSS Starter Page Series - Part 9: The Video Page By: Sheri German Welcome back to the HTML5 CSS Starter Page series! Now that we have the site all set up, it is time to fill the pages with HTML5 pizzazz. The first page we're going to tackle is the video page. In keeping with our goal of making the site work in the real world, we'll adopt a video fallback strategy. Be sure to download the support files at the bottom of any page of the tutorial and define a site with the start folder as the site root folder. Video for Everyone Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could insert video and audio into a page without nee ding any proprietary plugins? And if, in the process, the user could see the video play natively right in the browser? In theory, HTML5 provides us with two elements that will, in fact, do this for us: <video> and <audio> . Point to a source file either between the opening and closing tags or within the opening tag (if you are serving only one format) and you're done. In practice, however, it's not that easy. First, Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 do not support the video and audio elements at all, and thus need a Flash fallback. The other problem is that even the browsers that support the video element require different video formats in order to work. As of this writing, the critical formats in use to cover all the browsers are webm, mp4, ogv, and flv: WebM : Latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and Opera - Internet Explorer 9 will support it if the codec is manually installed on the computer (perhaps this requirement won't be necessary in future updates?) MP4 : Safari, Chrome, and IE9 will play this format ogv/ogg : Firefox 3.5, Chrome 4, and Opera 10.5 support as well as Linux FLV : The Flash format that all modern browsers will support In the tutorial download folder, you will find a media folder in both the start and completed site folders that provides the example "Schumann Piano Quintet in E Flat Major" video in all four formats in case you want to play with testing the various browsers. Tip: The HTML5 video entry at Wikipedia has a useful table of browser support for various video formats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video#Table) . Dive into HTML5 has a thorough list that explains each video format (http://diveintohtml5.org/video.html) . Video Converters As you can see, supporting so many formats is the first "fly in the ointment" in serving HTML5 video. You have to take one video and convert it to three different formats, as well as the FLV or SWF format for Flash fallback for IE 6, 7, and 8. QuickTime Pro (FLV export as well as others) and Miro Video Converter (which is free and converts to ogg, WebM, and MP4) are available for both Mac and PC. http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/ (http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/) http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/) Of course, you can use Flash to create FLV files, and there is also a free online converter (http://www.filewiggler.com/) that will convert video to FLV as well as the other formats you'll need. Image 1 : You can export a movie to FLV as well as other formats with the free QuickTime software Image 2 : The free Miro Video Converter will convert your video to most of the different formats you will require for the various browsers Multiple Methods There are several methods for serving video to all browsers, regardless of their HTML5 video support: Code the video element and use Flash as the fallback (nest the Flash object inside the video element) Code Flash and use the video element as the fallback (nest the video element inside the Flash object) Use an HTML5 video player such as the Kaltura HTML5 video widget that you can access through the Widget Browser in Dreamweaver (additionally, here is a list of 20 HTML5 video players (http://www.net-kit.com/20-html5-video-players/) ) Tip: You can also install the Chrome Frame plugin (http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/) into older versions of Internet Explorer to give them support for the latest HTML, JavaScript and CSS features. In this tutorial, we're going to use the second option, which is to code Flash video, and add the video element as the fallback. Given the state of today's browsers, this is emerging as a popular strategy because you only have to convert your video to two formats: Flash and MP4. This is a great resource savings that will benefit us until the <video> supporting browsers sort out the video format wars. In reality, most browsers support Flash, and in any case, until the use of Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 dies away, we will need to continue to use it for video delivery. Given that IE9 does not work on the XP operating system, we could be waiting an exceptionally long time to be rid of Internet Explorer 8, (not to mention 6 and 7)! Flash has been a great means of delivering video, and there is no need to dump such a practical solution. The one pitfall is mobile devices: for example, iOS devices such as the iPad and the iPhone do not support Flash. As an owner of both, I get tired of being shut out of video because of a lack of Flash support. The good news is that there is often excellent HTML5 support on mobile devices, and this includes support for the HTML5 video element. The best news of all is that Dreamweaver provides a drop dead simple way of implementing this method. We can use the Insert>Media>FLV command along with HTML5 code hints to quickly add video that will play just about everywhere. Let's get started! Tip: You can watch a four part series about HTML5 video on Adobe TV: Part One: Understanding HTML5 video Part Two (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/videoandhtml5part2gettingstarted/) : Understanding the various video formats Part Three (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/video-and-html5-part-3-maximizing-html5-video-access-with-flash/) : Using Flash as a fallback Part Four (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/video-and-html5-part-4-flash-with-html5-fallback-choosing-a-path/) : Using the video element as the fallback Adding the Flash Video 1. Open video.html . 2. Place your cursor in the empty paragraph space right after the heading "Featured Video". 3. Select Insert>Media>FLV . The Insert FLV dialog box displays. Image 3 : Fill out the Insert FLV dialog box 4. Click the Browse button next to the URL field. 5. Locate the Media folder in the site folder. and select schumann.flv . 6. Select a skin from the Skin dropdown menu. (I chose the simple and elegant clear skin.) 7. Add in the width of 345 and the height of 240 . 8. Click OK . 9. Save the document and click OK when the dependent files dialog box displays. Image 4 : Make sure that you copy the dependent files to the server when you upload the video 10. Preview the video in the browser. Image 5 : The Flash video with the clear skin player Adding the HTML5 Video 1. Click the Code View button in the Document Window. 2. Scroll down and locate the div that includes the message to users who do not have Flash, or have an old version of Flash. <!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. --> <div> <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4> <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p> </div> 3. Delete the code between the opening and closing div tags. 4. Place your cursor between the two div tags. 5. Begin to type "vi" and Code Hints will bring up the video tag. Press enter to place it on the page. 6. Press the space bar, and the next code hint displays. Begin to type src and press return when it appears in the Code Hints. 7. Click the Browse button and navigate for the schumann.mg4 file in the Media folder. Image 6 : Code Hints provides the browse function 8. Continue to use Code Hints or just type in the following attributes: 9. Width: 345 10. Height: 240 11. Controls (This will place playback controls on the video so that the user has control over starting and stopping it) 12. Poster (browse for the schumann.jpg file in the Media folder) - this will provide a still image that displays till the video starts 13. Finally, close the video tag with all its attributes. 14. Begin typing the closing video tag and allow Dreamweaver to auto complete it. 15. If you are worried about accessibility for those who may not have Flash, an older version of Flash, or a browser that can not render a MP4 on the fly, you can add a link to download the video for offline viewing in the preferred program. The completed code should look like this: <div> <video src="media/schumann.mp4" width="345" height="240" controls poster="media/schumann.jpg"></video> <p>Can't see the video? Download <a href="media/schumann.mp4">Schumann Quintet here.</a></p> </div> 16. Preview the video on an iPad or iPhone.

  • Video - Dive Into HTML5
    Video - Dive Into HTML5 You are here: Home ‣ Dive Into HTML5 ‣ Video on the Web ❧ Diving In nyone who has visited YouTube.com in the past four years knows that you can embed video in a web page. But prior to HTML5, there was no standards- based way to do this. Virtually all the video you’ve ever watched “on the web” has been funneled through a third-party plugin — maybe QuickTime, maybe RealPlayer, maybe Flash. (YouTube uses Flash.) These plugins integrate with your browser well enough that you may not even be aware that you’re using them. That is, until you try to watch a video on a platform that doesn’t support that plugin. HTML5 defines a standard way to embed video in a web page, using a <video> element. Support for the <video> element is still evolving, which is a polite way of saying it doesn’t work yet. At least, it doesn’t work everywhere. But don’t despair! There are alternatives and fallbacks and options galore. <video> element support IE Firefox Safari Chrome Opera iPhone Android 9.0+ 3.5+ 3.0+ 3.0+ 10.5+ 1.0+ 2.0+ But support for the <video> element itself is really only a small part of the story. Before we can talk about HTML5 video, you first need to understand a little about video itself. (If you know about video already, you can skip ahead to What Works on the Web.) ❧ http://diveintohtml5.org/video.html (1 of 50) [6/8/2011 6:36:23 PM] Video - Dive Into HTML5 Video Containers You may think of video files as “AVI files” or “MP4 files.” In reality, “AVI” and “MP4″ are just container formats.

  • Measuring Opencv.Js Performance with Wasm Execution Engine in Desktop, Embedded and Mobile Browsers
    SAIV, Simposio Argentino de Imágenes y Visión Measuring Opencv.js performance with Wasm execution engine in desktop, embedded and mobile browsers Carlos A. Pérez1 CINAPTIC, Applied Research Centre of Information Technologies, Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, Facultad Regional Resistencia. French 404, (3500) Resistencia, Chaco, Argentina. [email protected] Abstract. Current browsers have sophisticated execution environments for Javascript, and fast rendering engines. With the advent of HTML5, they accept digital cameras, and they can process, in real time, video streaming between browsers, allowing instant communications. In addition, the introduction of the low-level virtual machine (LLVM) allows image-processing libraries to be de- livered, alongside web pages, as specialized scripts that execute in browser, with significant speed gains when compared to traditional Javascript engines. This make the browser a very suitable platform to deliver web applications with heavy image processing tasks, that execute at native speeds. However, measuring such performance in modern browsers is a demanding challenge. In this paper, a set of recommended practices to use and to benchmark Opencv.js are presented and obtained figures on several testbeds are discussed. Measurements involved a desktop PC, a selection of smartphones with mainstream processors, and a Rasp- berry Pi single-board computer, which resulted in several findings that confirm the maturity of mobile an embedded browser for image-processing with Javas- cript at client side, running at native speeds. Keywords: devices, Javascript, web assembly, OpenCV, performance 1 Introduction Nowadays, modern browsers are complex software facilities, that not only render web pages, but also feature intricate internals in order to execute scripts, support multithreading, use hardware acceleration, perform sophisticated compilation, accept several media formats and offer compatibility with latest internet standards.

  • Moving on to HTML5 HTML5 Is the Newest Incarnation of the HTML Family of Languages
    Part 1 Moving on to HTML5 HTML5 is the newest incarnation of the HTML family of languages. HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is one of the main reasons the Web is as powerful and useful as it is. HTML is a reasonably simple system of plain-text codes that provide the structure of all Web pages on the Internet. In this part, you take a quick look at how HTML5 fits in the history of the Web, and put together a few tools you’ll need to get started. Be sure to check out my Web site for working examples of every code fragment in the book: www.aharrisbooks.net/h5qr. In this part . ✓ Looking at the History of HTML ✓ Understanding What HTML5 Is ✓ Running Tests for Browser Features ✓ Deciding on a Suitable Browser ✓ Utilizing Chrome Frame to Add Support to IE COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL 03_9781118012529-ch01.indd 1 3/21/11 9:36 AM 2 Part 1: Moving on to HTML5 A Quick History of HTML HTML is a key part of the Internet. It has a short but extremely vibrant history. In order to understand what HTML5 is about, it’s useful to look at where it came from. The Internet (and the Web in particular) has been changing at a dizzying pace. HTML has been trying to keep up. When HTML was first devised, it comprised a handful of tags, and HTML did little more than determine how a page was laid out. As the Web matured, many features were added. Today’s Internet is still about documents, but it’s also about applications.

  • The Code4lib Journal – for Video Streaming/Delivery: Is HTML5 the Real Fix?
    Issue 22, 2013­10­14 ISSN 1940­5758 For Video Streaming/Delivery: Is HTML5 the Real Fix? The general movement towards streaming or playing videos on the web has grown exponentially in the last decade. The combination of new streaming technologies and faster Internet connections continue to provide enhanced and robust user experience for video content. For many organizations, adding videos on their websites has transitioned from a “cool” feature to a mission critical service. Some of the benefits in putting videos online include: to engage and convert visitors, to raise awareness or drive interest, to share inspirational stories or recent unique events, etc. Along with the growth in the use and need for video content on the web; delivering videos online also remains a messy activity for developers and web teams. Examples of existing challenges include creating more accessible videos with captions and delivering content (using adaptive streaming) for the diverse range of mobile and tablet devices. In this article, we report on the decision­ making and early results in using the Kaltura video platform in two popular library platforms: CONTENTdm and DSpace. by Elías Tzoc and John Millard Introduction The video market share on the web is such that some tech companies such as Cisco are now predicting that online video will surpass social media in popularity by 2017. For universities, creating and delivering video content has also gained attention in the last few years, especially for those moving into hybrid (online and face­to­face) types of classes and e­ learning initiatives. As for library content, the digitization of collections originally stored on reel­to­reel, VHS or DVD along with the creation of new video content like oral histories, has created new opportunities to deliver video content on the web.

All rights reserved. White Paper: How to Select the Best Video Player Intro – Why focus on the video player? This white paper offers a unique way of looking at your online video strategy. The strategy is usually comprised of many parts: content, branding, monetization, user engagement, social capabilities etc. In this paper we take a look at all these strategic elements through the lens of the player experience. If you are able to present a powerful video player that is both feature-rich and quick to load and respond – you are going to be successful. Think of the player as a brick-and-mortar store: beautiful glass storefront with a well-branded skin, convenient buttons and a beautiful thumbnail will help lure the viewers. Once they click “Play” it is like they walked inside. This is where the player’s technology lights up to deliver a smooth video experience that will impress users regardless of their location or device. The player capabilities should inspire the user to take action, based on the strategy goals: watch more videos, click on ads, answer an interactive survey, upload UGC content or share your content with the world.
