That is why Flash still exist. Browsers/platfforms cannot come up with agreement on what container should be used ...<br><br>On Friday, December 26, 2014, Jim Lynch <<a href="mailto:ale_nospam@fayettedigital.com">ale_nospam@fayettedigital.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I'm using SimpleScreenRecorder to record a short demonstration of a web site.<br>

I've built a half dozen combinations of containers and codecs that all worked fine with FF and Chrome on Linux but never found the right combination that any browser on Windows 7 or 8 could view. I'm very unfamiliar with video formats, but have learned a bunch, albeit not enough. I can't seem to find the answer on Google. I know that it can be done, after all Youtube does it.<br>
<br>
I suspect Youtube might be using flash.<br>
<br>
Anyway I thought for sure HTML5 would work on IE 11, but no, it says H.264 isn't a supported codec. Huh? Neither is mp4. Nor could I get any variety of avi working.<br>
<br>
So if someone knows the magic, please tell me. I'd keep trying things but I don't have a MS system with anything later than IE 8 so I have to ask others for help and they are getting tired of it. :( For that matter, so am I. ;)<br>
<br>
For the HTML5 test I used the <video> element:<br>
<br>
<body><br>
<br>
<video src="vid8x.mp4" id="movie" controls height="1024" /><br>
</body><br>
<br>
file vid8.mp4<br>
vid8.mp4: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 1<br>
I think it was the H.264 codec. I don't know how to determine that from the file.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jim.<br>
