+[[!meta title="Video encoding for the web"]]
+
+According to [Mark Pilgrim][MP], video embedded in the following
+manner should work for Firefox 3.5+ and Opera 10.5+ (playing the ogg
+movie), Safari, iPhones, and Androids (playing the mp4 movie), and
+Chrome 4+ playing either one. If you're not running one of those
+browsers, you can download the video an extermal player (like
+[VLC][]).
+
+My digital camera takes movies in
+
+* Container: mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2
+* Video: mjpeg, yuvj420p, 640x480, 10422 kb/s, 30 tbr, 30 tbn, 30 tbc
+* Audio: pcm_u8, 8000 Hz, 1 channels, s16, 64 kb/s
+
+Encode your movie with something like (tagging flags removed)
+
+ ffmpeg2theora --endtime 120 --optimize movie.mov
+
+ ffmpeg -i movie.mov -t 120 -acodec libfaac -aq 200 -ac 1 -s
+ 640x480 -vcodec libx264 -vpre slower -vpre ipod640 -b 800k -bt
+ 800k -aspect 640:480 -threads 0 movie.mp4
+
+For `-vpre`, take a look in `/usr/share/ffmpeg/`, which usually
+contains a bunch of pre-configured settings. The parameters for
+baseling H.264 [should be][H264]:
+
+* H.264 Baseline: `avc1.42E0xx`, where xx is the AVC level
+* Low-Complexity AAC: mp4a.40.2
+
+You should use ffmpeg2theora v0.26 or greater, as v0.25 has
+audio/visual syncing issues.
+
+To embed the movie, include something like:
+
+ <video preloads="none" controls="controls" width="640" height="480">
+ <source src="movie.mp4"
+ type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' />
+ <source src="movie.ogv"
+ type='video/ogg; codecs="theora,vorbis"' />
+ <p>Your browser does not support the <video> tag, try
+ downloading the video and playing it in an external player.
+ </p>
+ <img width="600" src="../2011.01.20.12.33.54.jpg" />
+ </video>
+ <p>Download as
+ <a href="movie.ogv">Ogg/Theora/Vorbis</a> or
+ <a href="movie.mp4">Mpeg4/H.264(ConstrainedBaselineProfile)/AAC</a>.
