HTML5 video doesn't render correct

Hello there,
I'm experiencing some problems with the latest versions of firefox >= 24.
For some unknown reason all HTML5 videos don't render correctly - while rendering some lines appear not in place. To get a better idea of what I'm talking about, please visit this link http://awesomescreenshot.com/0d71x20rb0
My video drivers are fine as well as I'm running the latest version of firefox.
What is causing this problem and how could I fix it?

hello, can you try updating your graphics driver - this should be the latest version available for your system: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23106&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20%2864-bit%29*&DownloadType=Drivers

HTML5 videos won't play correctly with built-in player

1) When I try to play html5 video, firefox only shows me a few frames, and then screen become grayed and «loading» animation appears. Then it shows me next few frames, and a loading screen again. It continues until the whole video will load.
2) When it finally loads, video and sound are a little bit choppy if the video is in good quality. Other browsers play that videos without any lags or loading screens. Here's the example of one of that videos I couldn't watch normally: https://m.vk.com/video-51189706_170637645
I've looked up at memory indicator, and it showed me that I have at least 200Mbs of free RAM during the loading of these videos. Also every memory limit setting in about:config is set to -1.
I use the latest firefox version from Play Store and own an Asus TF300T tablet (nvidia tegra3 and 1Gb of RAM), so it's certainly not a lack of hardware power.
I also should note that when I watch youtube videos (with firefox, not youtube player, which I've removed), everything is fine — videos are playing and loading at the same time.

I cannot view that video however we are in the process of making some major changes to video playback on Android. Currently these changes are in our Aurora build of Firefox it can be downloaded at https://aurora.mozilla.org if you would like to see if this improves the video playback.

Why doesn't Webm and HTML5 Video doesn't work on youtube with Firefox 4.0b8pre?

I go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and enable html5. I do not get any video tags or content of the sort.
If I do a search: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gods+gonna+cut+you+down&aq=0&webm=1
None of those videos will appear with the video tag. It will all be adobe flash even though I don't have flash installed. Youtube used to work great with firefox4.0.

The problem is with your user agent. it is:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101111 Firefox-4.0/4.0b8pre
While it should be:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101111 Firefox / 4.0b8pre
I have the same problem, and while I do not know its cause, I have found a workaround- install user-agent-switcher.....
Have you installed firefox-4 with the "daily" ppa too?

The play button on HTML5 video doesn't work, however the play option in the context menu does

I have embedded a video using HTML5 using the mp4, webm, and ogg formats.
In Firefox the video poster displays as do the native controls. When the video is clicked on (either on the poster or the play button on the controls) the poster disappears to be replaced with the first frame of the video. However the video then fails to play.
If i right click over the video and select play it plays fine, similarly if i then click the pause button it pauses, the play button still does not work though.
The video plays in all other browsers that i have tested in without an issue.

Hi Obverse,
Thank you for contacting support. To better understand how the video is embedded, could you please post a link to the video or an example of where the HTML play button does not play a video?

Mini DVI to Video doesn't work correctly

Hi
I know the set up I have works i have used it before, all the cables work and connections are good etc... the problem is when i plug in the adaptor the screen turns black then blue and then transparent blue with what ever was on the screen before is in the background. at this point it stops and nothing happens and the TV is black with 2 lines on it. I have also tried starting up with it plug in and I get the chimes then the gray screen with the apple logo and then a blue screen and then it stays here. The TV also displays a blue screen but it is not the same one as the iBook screen has the mouse on it.
any help with be very much appreciated.
Thanks

The iBook G4 does not have mini-DVI output. It has a mini-VGA output.
You need to use the proper mini-VGA adapter to get VGA, S-video, or composite video.
This is not the same as the mini-DVI adapter.

Html5 video doesn't play

I was on the People magazine site and where there was supposed to be a video it said this player cannot play HTML video. I thought iOS can't play Flash video but that HTML 5 is what apple supports. Am I wrong?

Actually I just opened in safari. No video there either.

Flash player plug-in doesn't render correctly

happy new year
I am about talking about bug in adobe flash player. The adobe support didn't reply to my bugbase topic.
To reproduce the bug:
1. use windows 7 and flash player any version.
2. set your dpi to 190% by right clicking on desktop -> screen resolution -> make items larger or smaller -> custom text size (dpi) -> 190% -> ok -> log off and log on again. Also set your resolution to native.
3. Open http://www.speedtest.net/
4. ctrl + mouse wheel to increase page size
5. you should see bug similar to attached image.

HTML5 video encoding

What are people using to encode video for HTML5? The players I have looked at want .mp4, .ogg, and .webm. Media Encoder (At least the CS5 version) doesn't do the last 2. I tried the Miro encoder, but that has no controls, and has quality issues. I'm looking for a professional solution (hopefully not crazy expensive) for OSX.

heres some info re: html5 and video and various mobile devices and also browsers.. there's 2 different pastes ..first is from a doc file I have ..then theres a txt file....the info is about 9 months or a year old ...
plenty of links in articles to follow thru
=====
This is all done without JavaScript and requires only two video encodes, one Ogg file, and one MP4 file. Instructions on how to convert your videos to these formats are provided further down this article.
It’s compatible with HTML 4, HTML5 (valid markup), XHTML 1 and additionally also works when served as application/xhtml+xml.
For a full browser compatibility list, see the Video for Everybody Test Page.
The Code
Here follows the full source code. It’s very large because it’s fully commented.
You can easily compact this down (one such example follows afterwards).
To save time you could use the Video for Everybody generator by Jonathan Neal to generate the code snippet according to your options.
Do not miss the important notes below or you will be kicking yourself after wasting hours trying to get it to work.

It’s advised you subscribe to the RSS to be kept informed of new releases in case you get caught out by new bugs introduced by vendors *cough*Apple*cough*. The version isn’t <1 for no reason.
IMPORTANT Notes
Ensure your server is using the correct mime-types. Firefox will not play the Ogg video if the mime-type is wrong. Place these lines in your .htaccess file to send the correct mime-types to browsers
Replace __VIDEO__.MP4 with the path to your video encoded to MP4 (a warning on using H.264) and
replace __VIDEO__.OGV with the path to your video encoded to Ogg.
Optionally you could also include a WebM video.
Replace __POSTER__.JPG with the path to an image you want to act as a title screen to the video, it will be shown before the video plays, and as a representative image when the video is unable to play (Also replace “__TITLE__” for the poster image’s alt text). Not all browsers support the poster attribute, it’s advisable to encode the poster image into the first frame of your video.
2. AddType video/ogg .ogv
3. AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm
DO NOT INCLUDE THE poster ATTRIBUTE (<video poster="…">) FOR iOS 3.x SUPPORT. There is a major bug with iOS 3 that means that playback will not work on any HTML5 video tag that uses both the poster attribute and <source> elements. This was fixed in iOS 4.0, but of course for now there will still be a large number of OS 3 users. This bug does not affect use of the poster image in the flashvars parameter, which you should retain
Replace __FLASH__.SWF with the path to the Flash video player you are using. I use JW Player (download and place ‘player.swf’ in the right place), but this could be any Flash resource including YouTube. Sample code for using YouTube can be seen on the Video for Everybody YouTube Test Page
Safari buffers the video automatically even if autobuffer is absent. This has been fixed in WebKit nightlies with a change to the HTML5 spec; the “preload="none"” attribute on the video element prevents autobuffering. A current bug in WebKit causes Safari to perpetually display “loading” until the play button is clicked
The iPhone will not autoplay. This is done to save bandwidth which may cost some users.
It is not a bug, it’s a feature
HTML5 video on Android is badly broken. Resolution support varies from one handset to the next (often just 480x360), the fallback image usually doesn’t show and the code requires special adjustments. The Android emulator is completely useless as it doesn’t represent any real hardware and does not play HTML5 video. THERE IS NO WAY TO TEST ON ANDROID WITHOUT A PHYSICAL PHONE. BLAME GOOGLE.
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) now finally supports the controls attribute, so that VfE can work, but this still leaves all previous Android versions in the lurch. Use MediaElement.js or VideoJS for better Android support.
Some web hosts, in trying to save bandwidth, gzip everything by default—including video files! In Firefox and Opera, seeking will not be possible or the video may not play at all if a video file is gzipped. If this is occurring to you please check your server / hosts and disable the gzipping of Ogg and other media files. You can switch off gzipping for video files in your .htaccess file by adding this line:
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(og[gv]|mp4|m4v|webm)$ no-gzip dont-vary
With thanks to Bas van Bergen for this tip
There are some instances where people will simply not be able to view the video inside the web-page (e.g. Opera Mobile / Mini). It is absolutely essential that you provide download links outside of the video to ensure your message gets through
A current bug in Firefox means that when JavaScript is disabled (NoScript for example) the video controls do not display. For now, right-click on the video for the controls, use autoplay on your videos or rely on users allowing your site in NoScript
The Eolas ‘Click to Activate’ issue affects Flash in Internet Explorer 6 / 7 as the ActiveX controls are not inserted using JavaScript—however Microsoft removed ‘Click to Activate’ in a later update patch. This issue will not affect users who have run Windows Update.
Please also note that Windows XP originally shipped with Flash v6, and H.264 playback in Flash requires v9 or 10. Depending on what Flash video player you use, this may cause problems if you intend to support users with out of date Flash versions
A parsing bug in Camino 2.0 / Firefox 3.0 means that the image element inside the video element will ‘leak’ outside of the video element. This is not visible however unless some kind of background image or colour is applied to that image element. You can stop this by either wrapping the video element in another element or modifying the code from “<source … />” to “<source …></source>”. This works, but will not validate as HTML5
In IE9 beta, both the HTML5 video and Flash video underneath play at the same time. This does not occur in IE9 Platform Preview 7, which is newer than IE9 beta. It is assumed that an update to IE9 beta will fix this issue
Adding Custom Controls
Since VfE doesn’t come with any JavaScript the HTML5 video will use whatever native interface the browser provides. This is in the best interest of the user because it provides an interface best tailored to that device. For example, the iPhone always plays video fullscreen so that the edges of the video are not cut off in the browser and the user does not have to pan around to get it all in view. The iPad provides finger-friendly sized controls.
Different native video controls in Opera 10.5 and Google Chrome
Designers however don’t like the inconsistency and would like a unified set of controls. Both MediaElement.js and VideoJS use VfE and custom controls you can style how you please with CSS.
Encoding the Videos
Full instructions are beyond the scope of this article, please refer to Mark Pilgrim’s Video on the Web article for an excellent introduction to video formats and encoding instructions.
There is no restriction on the resolution of the Ogg video
The iPhone can play MOV and MPEG4 videos with a maximum size of 640x480 and only allows the Base Profile for H.264 (See Apple’s own instructions for the specifics). If your desired video is bigger than that, please read the instructions below for how to adjust the code to use hi-res videos whilst keeping iPhone compatibility
The iPad can play H.264 up to 720p, 30 FPS
Firefox will only play Ogg (WebM is also supported in Firefox 4), and it will not degrade to Flash if there is no Firefox-compatible video file
For best results I recommend including the poster image as the first frame when you encode the video
Using HD Video
If you would like to use a larger video than 640x480, you can use a QuickTime reference movie to auto-select between an iPhone compatible version and the full-size video. In QuickTime Pro use the ‘File » Export for Web…’ option to output a reference movie (you can also use Apple’s MakeRefMovie tool for finer control). You’ll have three files along these lines: “video.mov”, “video-desktop.mp4” (or m4v) and “video-iphone.mp4”. Now replace the two source elements in the code with these three: (substituting the right file paths)
<source src="video.mov" type="video/mp4"></source>
<source src="video-desktop.mp4" type="video/mp4"></source>
<source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg"></source>
What happens here is that the browser will play the QuickTime reference movie (Safari / iPhone / iPad) which will auto-select between the desktop and iPhone versions of the video automatically. If the MOV format isn’t supported by the browser (Chrome for example), we point to the same MPEG4 video that the QuickTime reference movie uses.
A Warning About H.264
I made Video for Everybody because since I don’t have Flash installed I wanted to create a way websites could provide me access to their videos (currently needlessly trapped inside Flash) without having to lose viewers from older browsers. VfE is not a tool I would use myself (other videos on this site are HTML5/Ogg only) because of the threat that H.264 represents to freedom on the web. Websites that are already serving H.264 video to users using Flash have already made the conscious decision to buy into H.264. I am not making that decision for you with Video for Everybody.
Just be aware that if you decide to use H.264 video for commercial use then you will need to purchase a licence from the MPEG-LA. Be warned that ‘commercial use’ may also include the scenario where your website has advertisements, even though your use of video is unrelated to those adverts. If you are making any any money in any way from a page that also includes an H.264 video, then you should contact the MPEG-LA for help on licencing.
On the 27th of August 2010, the MPEG-LA announced (arguably in response to growing WebM support) that the terms of “free use” of H.264 Internet broadcast would not change in 2016. This does not change a thing.
This is similar to Nikon announcing that they will not charge you if you put your pictures up on Flickr, or HP promising that they will never charge you additionally if you photocopy something that you printed on a LaserJet.

Using WebM Video
On the 19th of May 2010 Google released the VP8 codec as open-source and royalty free with the full intent to drive broad adoption via industry backing and switching YouTube over to the new format in the long term. “WebM” is a rebranded Matroska container utilising VP8 video and Vorbis audio.
This represents major competition to H.264—Mozilla, Google and Opera have already added support into special builds of their browsers and even Microsoft have about-faced on their H.264-only policy and said that IE9 will support WebM—but only if the codec has been installed by the user. Obviously absent from any support is Apple, and this means that unfortunately codec-fragmentation will continue into the foreseeable future so that you will still need to provide more than one video encode.
Adding a WebM video to Video for Everybody is easy, just add it to the source list! It has to go below the MP4 video due to an iPad bug that ignores anything but the first source element, and ideally above the Ogg source so that browsers that play both Ogg and WebM choose the WebM video first. Here is an example source stack:
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="video.webm" type="video/webm" />
<source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
Note the new mime type, which you will have to add to your server.
At this extremely early stage for WebM I will not provide any help via e-mail on how to encode or use WebM video. If you don’t know how to use it already, it’s not for you—wait until support is added to your favourite tools and more information is readily available. I will update this article as the situation with WebM progresses.
================
mobile device video info
The options actually match those of the most recent iPod Video, which uses H.264 video, up to 1.5Mbps, 640 x 480 pixels, and 30 frames per second with low-complexity AAC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz stereo audio. On the lower end, bandwidths up to 768Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, and 30 frames per second are also used, known as Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3. Both options can be output with .m4v, .mp4, or .mov extensions.
iTunes. The simplest way is to use iTunes built-in converter. Apple makes it fairly simple to convert videos to play on the Apple TV or iPod, which are also conversions that can be used on the iPhone. Any video that can play in iTunes, then, can be converted to play on the iPhone, and local files can also be synced directly to the iPhone via iTunes sync conduit, making for a fairly easy process. Two downsides: first, iTunes uses a "lowest common denominator" approach, meaning that there are no customized options for encoding into H.264. Also, some users have reported a bug in the most recent version of iTunes that creates video files with no audio, so don’t toss your original video clips until you’ve had a chance to test out the new H.264-compressed video clips.
Handbrake. Handbrake is the next most-popular encoding tool for both Windows and Macintosh platforms, and it’s available in a command-line version for Linux. Handbrake does a lot more than just H.264 conversions, but for purposes of this article, Handbrake would be used to transcode an MPEG-2 transport stream or other non-H.264 formats and codecs into H.264 video files. Speed on the product is quite good, and it has the option of a single-profile conversion (like iTunes) or the ability to customize encoding or profiles and then save the tweaks for future encodings. Handbrake has made a name for itself in DVD-to-iPod conversion, so the extension of Handbrake to the iPhone is one that many users trust.
On any of the last three products, the H.264 files output from these products can be added to the iTunes library for uploading to the iPhone. For those choosing to put their iPhone-compliant videos on the web, it’s also helpful to choose hinted streaming to allow the videos to begin playing immediately rather than waiting for the entire cache to fill.

So, you want in on the fun? Do you want to use some HTML5 video tags on your site right now? No problem. Fasten your seat belts, as we’re about to take a tour of the wonderful world of HTML5 video.
Browser Support for HTML5
First, let’s deal with some very basic stuff, like where this will work and where it won’t. As you can see in the table below, only the latest versions of most browsers support native video playback using HTML5’s <video> tag.
HTML5 <video> support by browser: Fx 3.0 Fx 3.5 IE7 IE8 IE9 Safari 3 Safari 4 Chrome 3+ Opera 10.5
Since Firefox 3.0 and IE 7 & 8 lack any support for HTML5 video, you’ll have to come up with a fallback plan for serving video to those users. Depending on what you want to do you, could fallback first to Quicktime and then, failing that, to Flash. That’s the strategy used in Video for Everyone (note that as of v0.4, Video for everyone no longer falls back to QuickTime).
To keep things simple we’re just going to fall straight from HTML5 to Flash.
Formats, Codecs and Technicalities
The next thing you need to understand is what is actually happening when you load and play a video file in your web browser. You’re probably used to thinking of video as .mp4 or .mov files, but unfortunately it’s not that simple. The actual file formats are just containers. Think of them as a bit like a .zip file — they hold other stuff inside.
Each container holds at minimum one video track and, most likely, one audio track. When you watch a movie online, your video player (most likely Flash) decodes both the audio and video and sends the information to your screen and speakers.
Why does this matter? Well, because the process of decoding what’s inside the video container file varies. To know how to decode a movie, the player (which is your web browser in the case of HTML5 video) has to know which codec the movie was encoded with.
When it comes to web video there are two codecs to worry about: H.264 and Theora.
There’s a huge debate right now among web developers, browser makers and just about everyone else as to which codec is right for the web. We believe that a free, open codec without patent and licensing restrictions is the best solution for the web. Sadly, neither codec exactly fulfills that dream, so for now, let’s just skip the whole argument and be practical — we’re going to use both codecs.
Why? Well, have a look at the table below, which shows which codecs work where and you’ll quickly see that there is no one-size-fits-all-browsers solution. Only Google Chrome can play both H.264 and Theora.
Codec support by browser/platform: Firefox Opera Chrome Safari IE 9 iPhone Android
Ogg Theora
H.264
So, you may be thinking … if HTML5 video doesn’t work in IE7 or IE8 and it means I’m going to have to encode my videos twice, then why bother at all? Well, the best answer is simple: mobile users. If you want iPhone and Android users to be able to see your video, HTML5 is the only way to do it — Flash support is coming to Android sooner or later but for now HTML5 is the only option, and we all know Flash doesn’t run on the iPhone or the iPad.
The HTML5 Code
Here’s how to actually embed your videos. First, we encode video in both .ogv and .mp4 containers. Encoding video is beyond the scope of this article, so instead we suggest you check out Mark Pilgrim’s online book Dive Into HTML5, which has a whole chapter devoted to understanding video encoding. Pilgrim’s encoding suggestions use free software to get the job done, and in the end you’ll have two files — one .mp4 and one .ogv.
Now it’s time to unleash those movies in pure HTML glory. Here’s the code:
view source
print?
1 <video width="560" height="340" controls>
2 <source src="path/to/myvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
3 <source src="path/to/myvideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
4 </video>
Yes, that’s it. What we’ve done here is use the <video> tag to specify the dimensions of our video, and to denote that we want to use the browser’s default controls. Then, within the video tag, we’ve added two <source> elements which link to our video files.
The “type” attribute of the <source> tag helps the browser understand which file it should load. It’s a bit of an ugly chunk of code that needs to specify the container format, the video codec and the audio codec.
In this case we’ve assumed standard .ogv and baseline encoded H.264 video as per Pilgrim’s tutorial. See the WHATWG wiki for more information on which video types you can specify.
And there you have it — native web video, no plugins required.
Dealing With Everyone Else
What about IE7, IE8 and older versions of just about any other browser? Well, for those users, we’ll fall back on Flash. To do that, we just use an <embed> tag within our video tag:
view source
print?
1 <video width="560" height="340" controls>
2 <source src="path/to/myvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
3 <source src="path/to/myvideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
4 <object width="640" height="384" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
5 data="path/to/swf/player.swf?image=placeholder.jpg&file=path/to/myvideo.mp4">
6 <param name="movie" value="path/to/swf/player.swf?image=placeholder.jpg&file=path/to/myvideo.mp4" />
7 </object>
8 </video>
Now any browser that doesn’t understand the HTML5 video tag will just continue on its way until it hits the object tag, which it should understand (note that the order, mp4 before ogv, is important for iPad support — Apple requires that mp4 be the first video file).
Of course for this to work you need a Flash video container. JW Player is one popular example, or you can roll your own using Adobe’s tools. Also remember that we still haven’t handled the case of an older version of Firefox with no Flash plugin installed (maybe your users are surfing your tubes with an outdated Linux machine). You can always add good old text-based links to the video files as a catch-all fix for anyone who can’t, for whatever reason, see either the HTML5 or Flash versions.
Conclusion
Embedding HTML5 video isn’t significantly more difficult than using Flash, especially if you’ve been using H.264 video files in your Flash player — which is exactly what YouTube has done with its HTML5 beta.
While we’re concerned about the licensing and patent requirements of H.264, it isn’t hard to notice that if you skip Theora and make all non-H.264 fall back to Flash, you’ve still saved yourself a considerable encoding headache. In fact, that’s probably the best practical argument against Mozilla and Opera’s refusal to support H.264.
If you’d like to use some of the more advanced aspects of HTML5 video, be sure to check the SublimeVideo player, which offers very nice JavaScript-powered set of custom controls. Also be sure to have a look at Video for Everybody, which makes for more complex code but handles just about every use case you could imagine. And there’s a handy Video for Everybody WordPress plugin as well.

HTML5 Wistia and Vimeo hosted videos are not playing correctly in Firefox (Choppy, hangs on frames, jittery audio)

Hi, for some reason I can't get HTML5 videos hosted by Wistia or Vimeo to play correctly in firefox. I tried doing a fresh install of firefox, running version 35.0.1, and the videos still don't play correctly. They constantly load, videos hang on frames, and the audio gets jittery. However, if I switch to flash they do play correctly. Videos on youtube play fine. I can't figure this out. I tested the same videos with Safari, and they play correctly, which tells me there's something not right with Firefox and perhaps my system.
I use a MacBook pro (Mid - 2010) with OS X Yosemite, 10.10.2.
Any ideas?

Try to disable all video player extensions in your Firefox and test the site that is giving playback issues. Turn on each one until there is an obvious difference.
Some video formats/codecs may not be supported by one over the other.
Right click on the HTML5 player and select: "About HTML5"
It will tell you that youtube has automatically enrolled you in their beta testing and to opt out you click the link on the bottom to stop seeing HTML5 videos.

HTML5 Photoshop Extension won't correctly render input type="range" element (missing handle)

I'm working on an HTML5 extension for Photoshop. When I include the HTML5 "range" element (i.e. a slider):
<input type="range" min="0" max="10"/>
...it doesn't render the handle of the slider at all. It's just a horizontal bar. I disabled any extra CSS that's being added just in case that was the issue and it doesn't seem to be. The JavaScript console reports that Chrome v27 is being used inside Photoshop (via Chromium Embedded Framework) and I've verified that that version of chrome supports the range input type.
Any ideas?
Screenshot:

According to Davide Barranca on Twitter, this is a known bug without an ETA fix. The slider has to be styled explicitly.
Conversation here: Davide Barranca on Twitter: "@nselikoff @fenomas about the slider: known bug, it needs to be styled explicitly (e.g. wit…
You can use topcoat's explicit styling to make the slider show up: range/desktop-light.css at master · topcoat/range · GitHub

Stagewebview doesn't show html5 video for Android

I just made app for Android to be able to play HTML5 videos. But the video is showing blank and only voice playing. If I make the video full screen it will show. The youtube video embed in the page has same problem. I also have the app in IOS version. That one doesn't have such issue. I guest the air sdk have some problem to show the video.

Many users have solved the problem by syncing several times; and if that doesn't work, perform a simple restore. Your titles will come back.

Firefox doesn't render my web page correctly other browsers do

Hi My website works correctly in IE9, Safari, Opera and Chrome but Firefox doesn't render my Contacts page correctly. The contact form position is wrong and the navigation does not work for the Contacts page. The only issue is with Firefox which fails to render the Contacts page correctly. Both HTML and CSS validate.
The website is http://www.pcwebsite.org.uk

thanks you for the link. I'll try that option next. But clearly since:
Internet Explorer 9,8, even 7
Chrome
Safari
and Opera
render the webpage correctly and there is no issue with validation of both HTML and CSS, then surely Firefox is not working to industry standards.
I can use any browser I care to but I can't control what browser my potential clients use.
"I'm not sure if this is caused by the floating sidebar content as a style rule of clear:both or clear:left partially fixes this at least horizontally (it is still off to the left)."
There is nothing wrong with the code is there as it works perfectly with the other browsers listed above? Maybe I should put the whole web page in a table.

Safari 5.1.2 doesn't play HTML5 video

I'm developing a website which uses HTML5 video as a fullscreen background. At home, I'm developing on a MBP running Snow Leopard. At work, I'm using Lion with Safari 5.1.2.
Currently, the page displays fine on Safari/Snow Leopard, Chrome/OSX, Firefox/OSX, IE9 (what?!), Chrome/Win and Firefox/Win.
Safari 5.1.2 on Lion and on Windows will NOT play the video and instead defaults to the poster image I have set.
The video has .mp4, .webm and .ogv versions for all the supported browsers.
I have tested this by downgrading my Lion computer to Safari 5.0.5 and the video played perfectly.
Any ideas? Seems like people are having issues with 5.1.2 and YouTube HTML5 videos also.

I believe you..

HTML5 Video Works In Live and Preview But Not on My Website

I feel totally ripped off by Adobe, again, I talked to a sales representative who told me that if I bought CS6 I would be able to easily install html5 video because the new version had an insert function that did most of the coding for you and gave you a properties view to select alt source... Now, I find out that is only available in the Cloud version. What a bunch of ....
Anyway, I can't get my video to play in IE, but it works fine in FireFox. I am using Windows so don't know about Safari. The live view and the preview in browser video works just fine but when I upload it to my site the webpage with the video has a space where the video is with dotted lines around it, but it is empty. The control panel flashes for a second but disappears. The video file is there in three versions. I check the MP4 version and it works fine, as I said it works in the preview IE browser.
Any ideas? Very frustrated, I figure if I had the properties view or could have inserted the file via HTML5 video command it would probably work.
Here is my code:
<video id="0" preload="metadata" controls width="640" height="460">
 <source src="FunWithMyFriend.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'/>
 <source src="FunWithMyFriend.webm" type='video/webm' />
 <source src="FunWithMyFriend.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
 Video is not visible, most likely your browser does not support HTML5 video
 </video>

Thanks Nancy, you're sure right about the user - I am a newbie and quite ignorant yet. I am a Linux user through Host Gator (not so good btw - slow over-crowded servers). I checked and added the basic MIMEs that I am trying to play. h.264, mp4, mov, ogg (OGV), WEBM, even wmv.
Here is the page - it is 3/4 of the way down the page where I try to include a graphic file that won't play in IE9 but will in Firefox and Chrome.
http://christopherproductions.us/Graphics.html
I tried reconfiguring the MP4 file several times using all sorts of settings here is the most recent versions and my code on this page. Note on the webpage below I explain that the Sony Movie Studio forum suggests saving in MainConcept AVC/AAC (*.MP4/*.AAC) Internet HD 720P codec I also tried saving in WMV and then using Freemake to convert the file to HTML5 (it makes three files, obviously the ogv file works in Firefox, I don't know about the WEBM file, but it looks like the mp4 file doesn't work, that is why I made one file specificially for mp4 using Movie Studio to render it.)

Trying to create HTML5 Video Playlist in Edge Animate - I can't get it to work. Please help!?!?

Hi All,
I am creating an interactive site through Edge Animate and am in the process of trying to create a HTML 5 Video Playlist to function within Edge Animate.
Current Process - Example:
I have 3 videos that need to be played on a certain page.
I created a symbol and dragged the videos to the stage and hidden them within that symbol's timeline.
I then use thumbnail images in a side playlist to either .remove(); .hide(); a video and .show(); the next.
However when I do a hide / show option, the video continue to plays in the background if I don't also create an if/else statement to pause it.
My concern with pausing it is that it will continue to load and dramatically slow down the load time of the site.
References:
I found this which looks very helpful but don't know how to add this to edge composition.

Please help or put me in the right direction to create a playlist would be hugely... AMAZINGLY.. helpful.
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Joe,
Thank you so much for your help on this one. It is hugely appreciated!!
I have been working frantically to implement your solution to get this working. I used the 'change src' method.
I have added all my code below in case anyone wants the solution in the future.
Could you please help below as I am now totally stuck with the <track> and 'event listener issues' !!
Issue #1:
I am having major problems with loading the 'closed captions' track element.
Everything I click for the video to change source / to the next video, the closed caption track adds to the video and doesn't 'unload' the previous one. You then end up with multiple different subtitle tracks on the video screen
- The closed captions / subtitles are not showing up in Google Chrome either?
Issue #2:
I can't get the event listener in edge animate to work for 'playing' and 'ended'. Can you please help and point me in the correct direction??
