html5 video?

[Wegg]

I have Xara Web Designer 7 Premium and am attempting to create a website that is iOS and android friendly. I'm stuck at video. I have some .mp4 files that play perfectly fine on my android phone and tablets but when added to Xara seem to have html code wrapped onto them that only works with flash. No HTML5 support. :-( Is there some trick or flag that I'm missing?

HTML5 video support was introduced in Version 7 and improved with v8.
You may not see any HTML5 code, but support is there.

Will my site visitors need to have Flash installed in order to view the movies I insert?

Your site visitors will need to have Flash installed in order to display and play the movies you insert. A fallback method is applied if your site visitors are browsing your web page using a device which does not support Flash. In this case the video is invoked as HTML5. This allows the videos you insert within your document to be played on handheld devices such as Apple IPod, IPad and IPhone.

HTML5 Video

Better support for visitors using devices which do not support Flash. MP4 movie files added to your website will now play without Flash installed if the browser supports HTML5 video.

HTML 5 Video
MP4 movie files added to your website will now play without Flash installed if the browser supports HTML5 video, so movies play on iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads.

I also find ******* video convector very useful for video conversions, it can produce mp4 videos for android, iphones, tablets, ipads etc. Of course you'll need a redirect for each os being used to ensure the correct file type delivery but give it a try.

EDIT: Ah, it seems this website has a block.

What's this? Egg'n'spam

Possibly Steve. I have a recollection of this software company s-o-th-i-n-k having issues a few years back due to spamming but I think there products are much improved of late.

Yes, he was one of the most disruptive spammers of all time before Risto (then Admin of TG) removed him and added that word to the banned list.
Another decent (freeware) converter (which also has an editor) I use a lot is FreeMake.
Though I'd like to see the OP respond to the previous messages, because Xara does add HTML5 support since version 7.
Perhaps he could post an URL where he has embedded an MP4 for us to check out?
