[WebPub] quick question about video

Wed Jul 23 14:02:14 EDT 2014

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.

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.

Cheers, Susan
