Re: Bye bye Windows Media Player for Mac!



Anyone that feels so inclined can do a 'view source' on my video page at:
www.lobecandy.com/video.php

I also believe I am checking the user agent string in my PHP script to make things a bit cleaner.
If anyone wants that fn, just ask.

The HTML source has no _javascript_, and the PHP stuff could easily be replaced with JS.

The browser isn't the only place people use cross-platform video.  Put a .mpg file extension on
an MPEG-1 file and it is also double-clickable on both Mac & Windows.

MPEG-1 installed by the OS on both Mac and Windows since 1997 or so. Supported by all major Linux media players. Supports HD decoding on P3 class hardware. No royalties on content. No royalties for decoder software.

 

That’s great, but useless unless you can also tell the list how to EMBED it in a page in a way that works with whatever player happens to be installed.

 Without that, MPEG-1 is as player-specific as any format.
