HTML5 Embedded Video & Audio Player - BBCode
 

This will work on all versions of VB.

With support for HTML5 in FireFox, Safari, and Google Chrome, it's now very easy to embed videos or audio on your site without the need for a lot of special coding or plug-ins. The <video> tag is supposed to replace Flash by linking to video files in the same way that the <img> tag links to images. The only catch is that right now the video files have to be in either .ogg, .ogv, .oga, or .ogx formats. These are all open source formats and easy to find converters for.

Instructions:

Go to your AdminCP, look under Custom BB Codes, then click Add New BB Code.

Title: HTML5 Video
BB Code Tag Name: video
Replacement: <video src="{param}" width="640" height="360" controls>
Your Browser does not support the video tag, upgrade to Firefox 3.5+, Google Chrome, or Safari.</video>
Example: [video]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Roomba_video.ogv[/video]
Description: Use this code to embed ogv HTML5 videos.

Click "Save" and...
Done!

thanks 4 good work

it says video and audio, what audio types does it support?

Depends on the browser,double redundancy(have a "backup" filetype)usually covers it (unless someone's using ie,then..well..)

thank you nice hack :-)

Glad to hear people are finding this useful! Just in recent days HTML5 Video is really catching on with the iPad coming out - CBS, ABC, and others are moving to HTML5 Video distribution.

cool

is there a program that i can use to convert to this format (i have a mac)??

Is this safe to use?
