Can anyone suggest an HTML 5 converter. I basically want to take the .mov file I edited and exported in FCPX and turn it into an HTML 5 video.

Thanks for the help

HTML5 is not a video codec. The HTML5 video tag will work with different codecs... depending upon the browser.

IE9 supports MP4 (H.264video and AAC audio)
Firefox 4 supports WEBM (vp8 video and Vorbis audio) and OGG (Theora video, Vorbis audio)
Google Chrome supports MP4, WEBM, and OGG
Safari supports MP4

Notice the issue... If you encode as mp4 it won't run on Firefox. If you encode as WEBM it won't run on Safari. For full coverage using html5 you need to do something like this [w3schools.com]. At least for the short term. Mozilla recently decided that they will support H.264 video.

Anything that can output H.264/AAC in an mp4 container will meet most of your needs.

I actually knew that it was not a codec, just not the other tidbit you gave me.


Thank you.

I only do mp4 and use flash fallback (since it takes that mp4) so any browser that doesn't support the mp4 file natively I tell it to use flash. This is ie8 or earlier versions of ie and Firefox. The only program I found to make great WebM or ogv was squeeze. I had errors like crazy from compressor. But mp4 it the best bet.

I haven't tried it but take a look at Hype maybe this could help you out.

For maximum browser compatibility, it is recommended to embed the major HTML 5 native videos (mp4/ogg/webm) into your website. You can try this html 5 video converter, it is very easy to use. It converts your source videos into the above mentioned html 5 formats in a batch mode, and most important of all it has the Flash fallback function for old browsers.

I've used Firefox for years and have never known it to not play H.264. I've yet to find a browser that can't.
