Mobile

Hi guys,

I am currently a desktop only developer and am doing some background research into the techniques required to attain a fully responsive design. My question is what do you when you need a video to play on an Android or iPhone web app, I know they have no flash. Is it HTML5? I notice that YouTube have a fully accessible mobile site. Could someone please raise this shroud of mystery,
thanks

There are various solutions out there for this, such as MediaElements and [URL=“http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/”]JWPlayer. Unfortunately, whatever solution you use, you need the video available in various formats (since there’s no one format that all browsers support).
