Video in HTML page, testing various types and players

What is this page?

This page is a showcase for various types of media, video. It shows three different types of video that need three different players.

What do I get to see here?

What follows is the display of the same scrap of film in three different players (if you have them running), just to test the quality of the video display, the availability of the player itself and the code to get the stuff up and running.
All the way down the embedded objects are nested so the movie is only played in the preferred player.

Note

This example was setup as a test page solely. It resulted in publishing an article in my weblog on how to play video in the pages in your website, embedded.

If you like this example, think it is useful, you could pay us a visit at PretLetters or at the section about Webdesign. The site is in Dutch though.

Maybe the index of the test area, of which this page is part, is worth checking out too, since in that part of my site I play around a bit. There might be something worth your while related to the main topic of this current page.

If you liked what you saw and I helped you out a bit with something, you could consider contributing something small so I can continu to put efford in this site. With that you help me to help you and others. Please visit my page (in Dutch) on bijdragen, contributions and donations. Thank you,
