How do I add video to my Website?
Thanks to Anna at Engage Media for help in figuring this out.
Useful sites:
- An encoding example for Mac
- Transmission, network of social justice online video makers
- Flossmanuals - resource for documentation
Steps to take
Below are the conceptual steps to take when publishing video on the Internet.
- Export in your video editing software's native format
- Convert your file to the xvid format. For linux users, you can use ffmpeg, Linux, Mac, or Windows users can download mplayer.
- At this point, ideally your web site would be configured to accept xvid files and convert them on the fly to a flash format. However, you can also manually do that using Mplayer, which can convert your xvid file to a flv fle.
- Your web site should include a flash player (Flow Player is a free software option).
Optionally, if you have linux, you can use ffmpeg2theora to create a downloadable version of your video in the ogg/theora free format.
