Is there any way, at all, to play video with H.264 source in Firefox?

I am a developer working on a site that makes heavy use of video. The site navigation and video playback controls run together, so it's important for me to be able to have full control over the videos, however, the videos must be hosted on Vimeo. The information on Firefox support for H.264 is all over the map, though at this point, I am just assuming, for the sake of practicality, that Firefox doesn't support H.264 playback at all. If I can't find a good solution, we are simply going to draw the line at Firefox and not support the browser at all for this site. It would be nice for the site to work on Firefox, but we estimate that less than 6% of our viewers will be using the browser, so it won't be hard to just redirect them to a different browser. Is there any hack, any workaround, anything at all, that I can do to play H.264 video using just the good old standard <video> tag?

hello mattclough, due to patent and licensing issues support for h.264 is not directly built into the browser, instead firefox relies of the capabilities of the operating system or hardware to playback such media content.
this will work in windows vista/7/8, linux, android and firefox os devices - for details please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats

  • Is there any way i can record a video with 2 audio sources?

    I want to be able to record a video with 2 audio sources (1 being a mic and the other being a guitar, both plugged in by usb's) while recording myself playing at the same time. I usually use an aucoustic but the sound is obviously much better when i plug straight in, is there any way i can do this without recording everything seperate? Im using a macbook pro.

    Are you looking to do post recording adjustments to the separate tracks? That really determines now you do this.
    If you not looking for multitrack recording (you just want to combine the two signal into one and record that) then probably the easiest thing to do would be to get an external mixer that would accept multiple inputs and output as  USB . Then you could set the levels with the mixer and just worry about recording the one signal.
    You could try using the MIDI Audio Setup app to create an aggregate device (one that will accept multiple inputs).
    There is also the 3rd party app Soundflower. It's an app that takes audio signals and allows you to route them between apps and to combine audio signals. It is dated but still works in 10.8

    Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

  • I just downloaded a video in HD, but I found out after the download was over my computer doesn't play HD videos. Is there any way I can return the video and get the SD version, or upgrade my computer so it will play the HD video?

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3209
    When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

  • Hi, haven't used iMovie in years.  I shot some video with my cell phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S2).  When I tried to make a movie, the clips I downloaded played back sideways on iMovie.  Is there any way I an flip the video from horizontal to vertical?

    You actually want a vertical video??
    What would you show that on?!
    Rotating video or photos in iMovie 11:

    In earlier versions of iMovie you can also do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
    Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
    Window -> Show Movie Properties
    select "Video Track"
    select "Visual Settings" from lower window
    check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
    Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
    Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
    FILE -> Save
    You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:

    Is that a question?
    Photo stream pictures can be viewed only on the devices they were sent to.  You can't transfer them back to your phone (or anywhere else).  If you didn't back up or import the photos to a computer, and they are no longer on your phone, they're gone.

  • Is there any way to load and play the iPad scrabble app on my Macbook?  i can't believe there is no scrabble app for my mac

    Is there any way to load and play the ipad scrabble app on my macbook?

    There hasn't been a Scrabble version for OS X since 10.3 -10.4 on PPC, the intel swtich and they just left.
    Scrabble owners will sue the living daylights out of anything that looks like it or uses the name.
    Would love to play on my new Mac latop
    Apple in their infinite wisdom didn't allow iOS apps to run/ported  as widgets etc on OS X Dashboard like many users requested long time ago.
    There is no Scrabble widget on Dashboard downloads page or anything close to it.

  • I took a 6 minute video and it's too grainy. Is there any way at all to reduce the grain? Or am I out of luck?

    I took a 6 minute video and it's too grainy. Is there any way at all to reduce the grain? Or am I out of luck?

    Yes, you have lots of alternatives.
    1.  Got to somewhere like Google docs and create a comment and feedback form, that can be inserted onto your site via the html snippet.  You can also take a look at http://www.jotform.com.  Whenever someone completes the form, you will be e-mailed with all the info.
    2.  Use a comment system like http://www.intensedebate.com.  Very good and the comments will be displayed on your site and you will be e-mailed when someone comments and you are able to accept it or reject it in this way. 
    3.  Go and create a blog elsewhere, like http://wordpress.com or if you have hosting, then try http://wordpress.org.  You can load this on your server with no problem and then create comments here, so in your iWeb site you either create a link to your blog or you can display your blog as an iframe in your iWeb site using iframe code.
    4.  As far as hit counters go - there are many.  Just do a Google search for hit counters - http://www.hitcounterexpert.com and there are hundreds more.
    Perhaps Apple keep blog comments and hit counter as MobileMe only to encourage people to use MobileMe rather than external servers.  However, we can only speculate on that!

  • HT4757 Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1?  Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?

    Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1?  Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?

    First Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that doesn't help apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Is there any way at all of accessing captivate variables from flash?

    Hi,
    I would be grateful for any help on this one.  I have been working in flash and I wanted to know whether there is any way at all of calling/accessing captivate 4 variables from flash (I'm working in flash Cs4 Actionscript 3.0 and I'm trialling Captivate 4, but I just want to know whether there is any way/method of communicating between a flash file and a captivate 4 file, and if so, can this be done with an embedded captivate 4 file/swf).  Surely there must be a way of communicating between the two - they are both Adobe products!
    Thanks for any help, pointers, advice, tips in advance.

    Hi Louon,
    Don't know if this would help you.

  • Is there any way to definitely tell when video play starts?

    I find that when you have a video element with a buffer - the PlayTrait.playState says playing while the video is buffering? Is there any way to have or know when the play actually does start?

    Hi,
    You could listen for BUFFER_FULL event. There are very rare cases when the video starts playing and the player never gets to a BUFFER_FULL, though we have not met one in normal use.
    The measurement values actually reflect close enough the start of the playback.
    Using the PLAYING event will not help you so much, since it will be triggered when the video starts to load.

  • Is there Any way to All Calender?

    Is there any way in Developer 6i that To Insert Or Add a Calender Control in Developer Form
    If yes then what or how?
    Thanks.

    See

    Also the 6i demo may come with a calendar that doesn't use a PJC. If not, there is a demo package in 10g that doesn't use a JPC that will probably work with 6i but may need to be modified.
