Up and Running with HTML5 Video

Up and Running with HTML5 Video

with Tom Green

 


HTML5 is a good choice if you're looking to embed video on your website, since visitors don't need any special plugins and HTML5 is becoming more widely supported by browsers. But the lack of a single accepted video codec does pose some challenges. In this course, Tom Green takes you through the history of video on the web, and shows you how to move forward with HTML5. Learn how to play a video stream on your website, set up autoplay and poster frames, and use alternatives like Adobe Dreamweaver and the JW Player to play back video. A series of Challenge and Solution videos give you a hands-on opportunity to practice what you've learned.
Topics include:
  • Understanding web video delivery challenges
  • Understanding video containers or codecs
  • Exploring bitrate
  • Creating MP4 and WebM videos
  • Using the <video> tag
  • Preloading video
  • Working with multiple formats
  • Setting up autoplay
