I need to show a live video show on my website, I want something that doesn't need the user to install any plugin like wmv in firefox for example, then I think flash is the only way.
But can flash open something else than flv ?
Thanks
Yes, Flash player supports more than one video codec

I have a youtube video that I want to be by default HD (720), not the auto set by youtube (360).
All I found was I can configure what I'll see from other user's video, but I can't find where I set the quality the users how watch my video would have by default.
I'm using Camtasia 8 for the video. Maybe I need to configure it there?
Any hint would be great.
Perhaps nobody knows with this new youtube layout.
Thanks
Looks like that impossible to configure- You can only configure embed videos.
I solved this by simply prompting the user with those youtube comment to toggle HD, and hope they would.
I think youtube says it best here describing the way you can and should embed youtube videos.

I am writing application to show youtube videos.
In WPF on windows 7 I use WebBrowser control and it works fine. But when I use WinRT WebView control to show swf file from youtube - it doesn't work. Only clear white screen.
I use approach like that : http://blog.tedd.no/2010/06/27/embedding-youtube-in-wpf-webbrowser-control/
What shall I do to have an oppotunity to show videos in Metro Style Application?
Thank you
try this one from the mytoolkit library: http://mytoolkit.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=YouTube
The default youtube video player (unless the user has opted into the HTML5 preview) is a Flash video control. Flash is not supported in the Windows Application Store ("Metro") shell version of IE, or in the WebView control.
But what you can do is request youtube to use the HTML5 video player (HTML5 video is supported by the App Store version of IE and WebView). For example, this video does play properly for me:
<WebView Source="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w&html5=True" />
So you should be able to embed a video using a webview, you just have to force the webview to use the HTML5 viewer. This can also be done as a parameter to the embed URL: see Force HTML5 youtube video
However, this setting only says to prefer the HTML5 player. Youtube may still attempt to use the flash player on some videos, which will not work in all cases.
You can alternatively also play the video through "mediaelement" to play youtube video, though you'd have to parse the youtube video stream first. See my W8 app "RedditTV"
i get video url from webservice. Can we play the video on browserfield?
BrowserField bf = new BrowserField();
bf.requestContent(url);
add(bf);
When i execute in simulator. The video image display and follow a error occur that "Access violation reading from 0x00000004".
Can i check on device.? its affect any problem on my device from this error.? Pls help me.
You need to pay it through the built-in browser which automatically opens the built-in video player. Call it like this: Browser.getDefaultSession().displayPage(url);
you cannot access the video from the browser field,this is my opinion.
Just pass the video url straightly in the browser. It automatically opens the default video player and it plays the video..
I don't think iOS can handle preload / autobuffer of html5 videos. Is this correct, or can anyone else tell me how they've managed to do it?
Clarification:
I want the content of the video to begin downloading before the play button is clicked.
Is it do do with this: how to get your HTML5 MP4 video file to play before being fully downloaded? As it usually is.
You can't. Some mobile devices like iOS devices will not preload the video in order to protect their users' bandwidth. Same restriction for the same reason to autoplay attribute
Whenever a youtube or any other flash content is buffered on the browser, isn't it true that is downloaded to the client computer ? So my assumption is that, any completely buffered youtube file should be found on my client right ?
For example, when i view this video on youtube, i see that it is actually referring to this swf location 'http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/watch_as3-vfl144654.swf'. How does youtube actually buffer this video on my computer then ?
Note: My objective is NOT to download youtube videos as i know there are extensions available for it. I just want to know how it works :) .
Thank you in advance..
Your browser downloads the video. Look into the cache for suspiciously big files. These are flvs.
