<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I'm pretty sure you need more than one video format to run on all browsers in addition to your MP4 like OGG. I think it's the way to go because YouTube et al is not very responsive.<br><br>
I found this for more info:<br><br>Native HTML 5 Video Formats<br><br>Browsers that support HTML 5 video support 3 video formats MP4, OGG and WebM.<br>MP4<br><br> Safari 3+<br> Internet Explorer 9+<br> Chrome (wasn’t meant to be but it certainly is!)<br>

<div>I have a short HTML file below and a mp4 file (tt.mp4). Right now the video can only play on Safari. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><!DOCTYPE html></div>
<div><body></div>
<div><p>test<p></div>
<div><video id="v1" controls autoplay></div>
<div> <source src="tt.mp4" type="video/mp4"></div>
<div></video></div>
<div></body></div>
<div></html></div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have two questions below.</div>
<ol>
<li>How can I make the video to play on any other browsers, such as firefox or IE?</li><li>How can I use this video as background and put some text on top of it through HTML?</li></ol>
<div>I would greatly appreciate it if you could please help me with one of the questions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
