Best way to put video on a website?

[GreenDance]

Hi, I was wondering, if someone could tell me please, what's the best way to put video onto a website (for free) (a player) in Firefox.

Thank You :)

There are lots of easy ways to do it, and it depends on your needs. But I guess the simplest way is to just upload it to Youtube and use the Embedded link.

I have my own web server and I just upload them to my server and run from the URL. See my signature. The link there will take you to a video on my server.

I am going to have to look into that, ogv, it looks clean, quality is nice, :)

Plus, it's a fully free + open format, which is a plus.

The easiest and most widely supported would be Youtube.

I'm trying a html test of a ovg video, when skipping forward, it jumps back then goes to the forward point, for example, if the video is at 03:06 then i go forward to 15:23, the video goes to 15:23, then jumps back to 03:06 for a 2-3 seconds then jumps back to 15:23 and plays, why is this?

this is strange, it's not happening now, it's working as it should be, but what would cause that to happen before?

You mean <video> tags on HTML5 I assume? If that's the case, try it in Google Chrome. I had that problem on Firefox when I was messing with HTML5 tags.

I use an application called "recordMyDesktop" you can find it in the package manager or the software center. That is what I used to create the ogv file. It is very simple to use.

This is strange, this is what's inside my test html file...


<video src="A_Digital_Media_Primer_For_Geeks-360p.ogv" controls="controls">
your browser does not support the video tag
</video>

It works fine in firefox, but not chrome, does anyone know why please?

Easiest is Youtube, uStream, or similar sites. If you have the right tools, most of which are freely available if you check Google, you can save your video so it'll play on any Flash-enabled browser. Depends on how involved you want to get.

I just fired up chrome and ran the ogv file I have in my signature and it runs just fine. Maybe you are missing a plugin or something.
