Exercise 2: Audio and Video Formats

In this exercise, you will make sure your audio and video flies work across different browsers. You will convert a video and audio into multiple formats so a browser can fallback on other file types if it does not support the original file type.

• Download this file. Or find another .mov file you like.
• Use Online Video Converter to encode (aka change the file into multiple formats) so that your video will play in multiple broswers like Firefox, Chrome, Sarafri, Opera, Internet Explorer.
• Download & Save the encoded files into your project folder.
• Create an video tag in your HTML to embed the video. Use multiple source codes to specify the type of file.
• Make sure it plays on each browser.
• Repeat the steps above using audio tags and an audio file from FreeSound or SoundJay.
• Bonus: Create a fallback option for your video and audio sources.
• Bonus: Encode a YouTube video onto your webpage.
