Interesting idea raised by now3d in IRC
Hi there. Could I ask if you would consider switching the Adobe Flash
videos to be in the Ogg Theora format and use <video> tag? I looked at
http://lubuntu.net/ but all the videos wouldn't play from Firefox on
Ubuntu.
Not sure how much work this would entail.
Unfortunately my line kept dropping and I didn't get to talk about them
not
playing in FF.
The newer ones should run fine in Chromium with
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
installed. The older ones are unfortunately only avaiable as flv files.
The new videos from 2011 will be encoded in webm (which should be
playable in
every browser [FF 4.0 is needed]) + h264 (m4v as blip.tv now converts
automatically to it). As for the video tag. As far as I know chromium is
loading and caching those videos when you add them with the video tag.
That
would produce high traffic on the server. (blip.tv in that case) So a
link to
the file would be better I think. Clicking the link should then open up
the
video in the internal browser video player.
