MP4 video on web site

[nexgraphics]

Hi, I have to know, OTHER than using YOUTUBE and VIDEO, OR FLASH - is there a way to get a 15 - second video that I have (m4v) file format onto my website so that all browsers can show it PLUS iphone, ipad, etc?

PLEASE ANY HELP appreciated - thanks much!

Yes there is.

lol chris you're such a tease - you know what he's asking - and i don't mean just what he's literally asking

<video src="video.m4v" controls="controls"></video>

Though, I'd caution that m4v is probably not going to work very well for the video format.

check out the browser support halfway down the page http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp

basically u need 3 versions of the thing

this is quite handy for making them http://handbrake.fr/

and take note of the audio formats you need too

otherwise just put in on youtube or vimeo if you can then embed it on the page

not sure if this is useful

Right. Like I said:

.m4v are actually .mp4 files anyway, it's just iTunes on Windows and Apple devices that use the m4v extension, so you only need to change the extension to 'convert' them.

I would say you would be better using a either Youtube or Vimeo as previously stated. Or there is a dedicated video service provider called Wistia.
