My Video Files

This page and the pages that it links to below are in the new HTML 5 format and will not work on all browsers.
If you are viewing this using either the Google Chrome , Firefox , Safari , iPod, iPhone or iPad browser you should see a video frame below.

Now the technical bit

Two file types are avalible for HTML 5 video, both .MP4 and .OGG are included on my pages this is to satisfy different browsers. I understand that the code will work on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox browsers. It should also work in MobileSafari on iPhone OS.

Safari and Chrome play the .MP4 video,
Firefox plays the .OGG.
Chrome supports both formats, and plays the one listed first.
The video and audio quality of the .MP4 format are noticeably superior.
My .MP4 files are 360 wide and the .OGG files 720 wide.
Even so the .OGG files are smaller.
Only Firefox honours the convention that if autobuffer is not coded
the video file will not load. This means that the poster attribute will only work in firefox.
I have not used the Poster attribute but have linked to the video page instead and used Autoplay on that page.
