Technology for setting up your own site

HTML5 <video> embedding

There are various ways to provide HTML5 video content with fallbacks for older browsers and non-free codecs.

You can include one of the scripts below, or modify source from an existing page such as the HTML of CELT presentations.

Video for Everybody

Video for Everybody is "a chunk of HTML code that embeds a video into a website using the HTML5 <video> element."

Encoding, transcoding

Firefogg

Firefogg provides "video encoding and uploading for Firefox". This includes a Firefox extension that allows users to encode video to Ogg Theora on their own computer while uploading it to your site. This simplifies the upload for users as they can simply choose from their existing video files, and simplifies your web site by allowing you to deal with only one video format, and offloading the CPU cycles required for encoding to the user.
