    currently it's telling me...

    Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

    but when i do...it still says the same thing.

    should i convert this FLV file to something else?


    also....

    <script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" type="text/javascript"></script>

    this is above the <body> tag...

    Well I can't see the video to see what it looks like but I would use handbrake to convert it to mp4 and then use html5media to embed it - http://github.com/etianen/html5media

    Now it will play on all the browsers and iphone/ipad.

    minusidea...
    i've done what you said...convert it using handbrake...from flv to mp4. then i grabbed the html5media code and now i can't see it...i can just hear it. the html5media folder is in the server also.

    can't figure out why it's not showing the video...do you know why?

    You're probably not converting the video properly in Handbrake

    http://wiki.github.com/etianen/html5media/video-formats

    Make sure your video is in a standard video size and you click the enable for web options.

    your video source should be a flv file , not a Mp4 file....


    also if that don't work

    try ffmpeg to rewrapper them into an flv extention then they played perfectly. You might try:

    ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 -vcodec copy -i movie.mp3 -acodec copy movie.flv

    (change movie.mp3 to your audio format)

    Maybe this will work for you.

    FYI. some author mp4s with x264. This may make a difference.

    Actually you're wrong - his video source file using the method I provided him should be a mp4 file he just needs to properly convert the flv file.

    Your head section is correct - this is the code I used for the video

    <video class="video" poster="*.jpg" width="640" height="272" controls preload autobuffer autoplay>
    <source src="*.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'></source>
    </video>

    If you want to embed a .SWF use the code listed below:
    -----------------------------------------------------

    If you need to make a .swf try this:

    http://dvdvideosoft.com/download/FreeVideoToFlashConverter.exe

    Pretty straight forward, select input file , name output:

    Hope that helps drew ...

    <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" id="Yourfilename" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Yourfilename.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#333399> <EMBED src="Yourfilename.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#333399 WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" NAME="Yourfilename" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED> </OBJECT>
    Code (markup):
    Most of this you don't need to touch, so don't worry about making sense of that. The italicized section sets the codebase for the version of Flash used, to check against to see if your user has that version. The rest has taglines to download the Flash player (if the user doesn't have it) and the parameters that you would need to edit--mainly, the line labeled EMBED src="Yourfilename.swf".

    By default only the file name would be there, because Flash publishes the SWF and the HTML file in the same folder together with your FLA file. However, you may want to put your SWF files in a separate subfolder on your server, perhaps a folder labeled "flash"--in which instance you would edit the code to read EMBED src="flash/Yourfilename.swf".

    Trust me, it's much simpler than it sounds. Give it a try and find out for yourself.

    yes, You can try to do your video again. and if your soruce video is flv, you can convert flv to swf for streaming on website. you can view the following html code:

    <object classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″ codebase=”http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/
cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0″ width=”400″ height=”300″
id=”flashvideoplayer.swf” align=”middle”>
<param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”sameDomain”>
<param name=”movie”
value=”http://www.myhomepage.com/flashvideoplayer.swf?
flv=http://www.myhomepage.com/myvideofile.flv“>
<param name=”quality” value=”high”>
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”#ffffff”>
<embed src=”http://www.myhomepage.com/flashvideoplayer.swf?
flv=http://www.myhomepage.com/myvideofile.flv” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#ffffff” width=”400″ height=”300″ name=”flashvideoplayer.swf”
align=”middle” allowScriptAccess=”sameDomain” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer”>
</object>
