Add a video

You can add Youtube videos to any page but also videos hosted videos in .mp4 and .mov format. mp4 and mov files have to be already stored on an external web server and need to be accessed via the Internet. Before you include Flash videos, please consider that they can not be played on iPhones and iPads.

  • 264 video: up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbit / sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
  • 4 video: Up to 2.5 Mbit /sec, 640 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbit / sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
  • Motion JPEG (M-JPEG): Up to 35 Mbit / sec, 1280 x 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw format, PCM stereo audio in .avi format.

In order to play mp4 videos by as many mobile devices, it has been proven to be useful to comply the Apple video specifications for the iPhone or the iPad during the creation or conversion.

In the Width and Height fields, you can specify (in pixels) the size in which the video will be displayed.
