I have two questions below. 1. How can I make the video to play on any other browsers, such as firefox or IE? 2. How can I use this video as background and put some text on top of it through HTML? I would greatly appreciate it if you could please help me with one of the questions. Thank you very much in advance. Yunpeng -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think it's the way to go because YouTube et al is not very responsive. I found this for more info: Native HTML 5 Video Formats Browsers that support HTML 5 video support 3 video formats MP4, OGG and WebM. MP4 Safari 3+ Internet Explorer 9+ Chrome (wasn?t meant to be but it certainly is!) OGG Firefox 3.5+ Chrome 3+ Opera 10.5+ WebM Firefox 4+ Chrome 6+ Opera 10.6+ Looking forward to other answers on how to get it as a background.
