Video On The Web

[mark_waltersmith]

Hey guys, I was wondering, that almost 90% of Video on the web is in flash. How will that video be converted into HTML 5. Also, are there any good HTML Video editing tools

At one point well over 90% of web surfers were using Internet Explorer 6, now it's down to single digits on many websites.

As far as video conversation keep in mind not all designers and developers will embed the movie files in to the Flash object. Those that did will likely have a high quality backup any way if they're professional and if they don't then they aren't.

Hi,

in HTML5 you need have videos in two formats, one mp4/h.264 for IE9, Chrome 3.0+ or Safari 3.1+ and ogg/theora for Firefox 3.5+ or Chrome 3.0+.

Convert from flash with h.264 to mp4 is simple without recompress:

e.g. ffmpeg -i flash.flv -f mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy new.mp4

And convert to ogg/theora the best is by ffmpeg2theora with recompress:

e.g. ffmpeg2theora flash.flv -o new.ogg

I have a project with html5/theora/h.264 on my web: http://www.videotob.com
