The Nintendo one is pretty much all I remember.Bernhard Kappe, the guy who does that portion might have the slides he used on Slideshare. You could try tweeting him.

Great post - do you have other examples of “name that startup” - I’d love to have a few examples up my sleeve for when I’m talking to UK entrepreneurs.

Thanks

Quite good tutorial. But you’re missing Opera browser, that does not support h.264. Your demo trys to display h.264 in Opera.

Looks like Chrome will only be supporting Theora…

Hello,.. Wonderful tutorial (of course)…

If you think of doing a followup, can you suggest how mix this solution without a pop-up window for the video (like here: http://videolightbox.com/ ).

I’m trying to come up with a similar look, but for locally served .mov files. Ideally, the popup window would be client-size sensitive so that smaller screens get smaller versions… but I’ll go with whatever works!

thanks.

Thanks so much! By far the easiest to understand.

Wow, can’t wait to try this later. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out why the HTML5 was working in Safari and Firefox but not on the iPad and I have to guess now that it’s because I have the two source tags one right after another.

I’m afraid HTML5 just isn’t ready for prime time yet considering all these hoops us developers have to go through to get it to work.

Kind of like the “old days” when you had to code exceptions for IE6 which I mercifully ditched for good last year.

Also it is useful to know the quality default of ffmpeg2theora is 6 out of 10 which will produce a much worse looking video than the m4v outputted by QT. you can add “-v 8″ or “-v 9″ to bring it close.

And I found this helpful for enabling autoplay on iPhones and iPads - http://www.codeblog.co/getting-autoplay-working-on-ios/

this is a very useful write-up. how do you retain the QT export’s ability to serve different versions for iPhone vs Computer?

@david,

I just retested and it’s working fine for me. maybe try clearing your cache?

Great tutorial Rob… thanks very much for the walkthrough. Unfortunately my iPad is crashing despite the fact that you’ve removed the Typekit fonts. Does it definitely work on yours? I hope it’s not just me
