Viewing Autostart Movies

Autostart Movies



User: Steve G. 7 years ago
It's been a while since I built my website (gartside.co.uk), at the time I added an auto start movie which seems to works reasonably well as an m4v in Safari but not in other formats or browsers. I was told at the time it was likely that it was the autostart that was a problem and there wasn't much that could be done.

I'm not a website designer or computer guru, my expertise is in property, so I don't get to keep up with changes and developments, so just thought I'd pop by to see if anything has changed.

You need to use the MP4 format for the video to work in all modern browsers.

Note that the video won't autoplay in mobile devices like the iPad and iPhone.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused, I'm using the video wiedget to insert movies, it says I should use different formats for different browsers which I have done, should I be doing something differently.

It's a bit outdated. You only need an MP4 file and don't require an OGG or flash fallback unless you need to support very old browsers.
