How do I incorporate video that EVERYONE can see? Quicktime redirect to Flash page???

I created a website for my video production company using Dreamweaver 8 (http://www.playroomcreative.com/production.html). I have average web design knowledge.
The sample videos of my work are all MP4 (H.264/AAC) which is compatible with Quicktime and Flash, however I am using JW Flash Player on my website because most people have Flash installed on their computers. I even have a message that prompts people to download the newest version of Flash when the video doesn’t appear.
My question is; what do I do about people that use iphones and ipads that can’t run Flash?
I would assume that I should change the way I have it now and put a Quicktime video embedded page FIRST, then use the “Check Plugin” Dreamweaver behavior to detect if they don’t have Quicktime and redirect them to the Flash video page. Then, if they don’t have the proper version of Flash they will be prompted to upgrade.
If I did it the opposite way (Flash page first that redirects to a Quicktime page when no Flash plugin is found) than the Flash page would never have a chance to offer it’s upgrade prompt if the user doesn’t have the proper version Flash.
Am I approaching this the right way?
Is there a better way (besides the use of YouTube or Vimeo type video hosting sites)?
Thanks in advance!

"With Google recently releasing the VP8  codec, and the WebM project coming into existence. Opera, Firefox, Chrome and IE9 all have support in final builds, developer builds, or at least support announced for this format, and Flash will be able to play VP8. This means that we will soon be able to create a single version of the video that will play in the <video> element in most browsers, and the Flash Player in those that don't support WebM natively."

  • Is it possible to read the description of videos that you can see in iTunes on your iPod Touch 4th Gen or 5th Gen?

    I was wondering if it's at all possible to read the description of videos that you have on your iPod Touch 4th or 5th Generation. It's available on iTunes, but I was wondering if there was a way to see it on your actual device.
    Any answer would be a great help! Thanks

    You can omit the title altogether in the URL (together with the succeeding slash, of course). For example, my own podcast URL in the Store is
    https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-sound-of-78s/id166389425?mt=2
    but this works perfectly well:
    https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id166389425
    Indeed you can even put your own title:
    https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/any_old_title/id166389425
    So it's as simple as that!

  • How do I maketotally custom e-mails that everyone can see without downloadi

    I run a website made on iweb. It is http://Ostyn-Newman.com I send out periodic annoucements to several hundred clients announcing new products on the site. I currently use IPhoto to process photos and send them via e-mail from that application. They open new messages in Mail 1.3.11 This works fairly well and almost all of the recipients automatically see the photos and text without having to download them. Everyone except AOL reciepients that is. I segregate them out and send their messages directly from my webmail program.
    This is fine and dandy except I really want to send more customized messages. I have tried making a page in Pages and saving it as a PDF and attaching to the messages instead of using the IPhoto method. This doesn't really work as most recipients have to download it to view it and then it is often a different size than I intend.
    What I want to do is to make a killer looking announcement (that looks basically like an IWeb page with hyperlinks and all) that all recipients can instantly view without having to download and has all of the custom colors, fonts, links etc. that I want to put in. I know it is possible as I get advertisements from Toyota, Sony, Apple etc. that do this very thing. What application and processes do I need to be looking at to make this happen. Thank you for your help.

    First, be aware that there is no way to guarantee that an email will look just like a web page to all recipients, since different email client apps process them differently. (For instance, Mail always displays what image files it can within the message, while others may display some or all as attachments.)
    Moreover, while HTML formatted emails are similar to HTML formatted web pages, the formatting is not identical. Emails are sent with MIME formatting that controls content disposition & provides options that web pages don't, such as alternate representations (typically plain text & HTML versions) within the same transmitted message. By comparison, most complex web pages consist of many different files, all downloaded by a browser to compose a page. (If you are using Safari to view this, select "Activity" from the "Window" menu to see just how many different files were downloaded to display this web page. It is a lot more than you might think!)
    For what you want to do, it may help to examine the raw source of the ads you want to emulate, to see how much of the message content is "embedded" (called "inline" in MIME terms) & how much is 'remote' -- that is, HTML links to files like with a web page (identified by "<href>" tags) -- plus what (if any) alternative versions they contain. Each option impacts appearance & download time, so it is something you should consider before deciding what is best for your clients & what app(s) you need.
    To get an idea of some of the possibilities, try Googling "bulk email applications" or check out some of the links at Mac Email Marketing Software - About Email.

    How do I get videos that I recorded off of my iPhone so I can upload them to Facebook? I cannot send them via email nor MMS because it says they're too big.

    iTunes is not used to move photos and videos from an iPhone to a computer (it is used to move them the other direction).
    Also note that a connected phone or camera does not show in the Finder on a Mac. It should show in Image Capture or iPhoto.
    The following has instructions on how to move them: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Another option is 3rd party software such as http://www.photosync-app.com

    You should get the mobile version of YouTube which sends Firefox a notice to open it in the YouTube App. That will have a much better playback experience than running Flash in the browser.

    Any ideas on how to edit a video that's already embedded in keynote (latest version)?

    You can change the edit points in:    Inspector > Format > Movie
    If you want to edit in a more complex manner: save as a package:
    File > Advanced > Change filetype > Package
    Save As using a different name
    right click the file > select show package contents
    in the data folder; copy the movie file by option and dragging to the desktop

    Ah, new to routers too.
    Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
    To explain everything would require writing a book here.
    But this is what you want basically.
    Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
    1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
    (guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
    2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
    3: Guest access on devices and computers only.  Passwords written down and stored.
    4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
    If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
    What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
    Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

    Your question really belongs in the AppleWorks community/forum.
    You can turn on fonts in actual type in the AppleWorks preferences.

    HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
    When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
    If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
    Help!

    That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

  • In print preview - how can you have multipage previews of the document - 1 - 2 - 3- 6 - 12 page preview and so on so that you can see if the document is ok to print?

    WINXP - In Explorer you can have multi-page print previews from 1, 2, 3, 6 upwards to check and confirm that the document will print correctly to your needs - and does this across the screen format as opposed to down the page, so that you can see all 12 pages on your screen to quickly see that the print percentage is correct and all pages fall into the print area and so on - how can you set this up with Firefox, because printing with Firefox is so unstable, you don't know what to expect when printing a document or web page?

    No what I mean is how can you see many pages across the screen without having to scroll like in explorer where you can see 12 or more small pages on your screen without scrolling down, like tiled across your screen as opposed to vertical down the page. Thanks

  • Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail.  Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

    Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
    What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?
