Transition to HTML 5 Video

Transition to HTML 5 Video Test
We are working on the move to HTML 5 Video, because we want to support open web standards. You won’t need the Quicktime plugin to watch our moves anymore, your browser has everything it needs for playback (and you could watch the moves also on your mobile device (iOS, Android and WP7 supported). It’s still possible to scrub the timeline (with IE9, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome), but for perfect frame-by-frame control the quicktime (mp4) files are also provided.
Please check out the video and give us some feedback.
The C7 Team
By the way, this Skopu was filmed during the PWA event on Fuerteventura 2010. It is not new, but we used it for our tests.

Is there a reason of C7site player change. Sorry to say but this one is tottaly sucks. Quicktime was perfect because you didnt have to download tricks to wach them frame by frame…
Nice skopu btw!
Thanks for your feedback.
Quite a difficult decision for us. I really like the Quicktime Player, superior frame by frame control. Otherwise many people want to watch the moves on C7 with their Android devices, with Linux, at work (and no QT installed),…… or the want to get rid of the Quicktime Plugin, cause they dislike proprietary plugins….
There is also quite a trend to HTML5 video at the moment, looks like flash is pretty dead and i’m not sure if Apple is supporting the QT plugin in the future (seems that their involvement is going down).
Hey, now unless you go fullscreen you cannot see the controle and time panel on the bottom of the video.
And I think it take longer to load the clip.
And I don’t like the advert that shows after you watch the clip.
Regards,
T.
Thanks for you feedback.
Advert?? Please can you send me a screenshot at mazatlan@continentseven.com?
You should see the controls if you move your pointer over the clip. What browser are you using?
Thanks for the screenshot.
Your DivX Player is responsible for the advert. In the player preferences there is a checkbox “disable banner ads in player”.
Hmmmn, i don’t like it…
I love quicktime because i can watch it frame by frame and control the video with my mouse…
Please stay with quicktime!

BTW, the skopu is very sick!!!
I think i prefer the quicktime purely for frame by frame.
its so good for learning moves and techniques
maybe there is a html5 player that you can control each frame by frame.

I use firefox 3.6.24 and cant point a specific point in the timeline : it simply restart the whole clip.
Then when I go fullscreen and replay the clip it’s the small display in the top left corner that is played (the rest of the screen is black)
I also had a situation where I had to reload the whole page because I could’nt start the clip, I don’t how it happened though.
Good Luck
this sucks
Its ok!
Poor quality?
I think we need some more examples before we can make a full assessment.
Ok, I can see this in my android device, but the quality is too low..
This is a low quality clip ot HTML5 don’t support better qualities and HD clips??
Nice! Now i can finally watch moves @work.
It dosn’t work with iphone!
Thanks for your feedback. Just tested with iPhone4 and the iPad, everything ok for me. Which iOS version? Which iPhone?
i must also say that the quality is quite low and the frame by frame conrol is missing which, i guess, pretty much every serious freestyler on here needs…
Nice plugin!
Works fine for me; fast load, smooth play and no trouble at all playing it frame by frame in normal or full screen mode (by shifting te mouse over te control panel).
Didn’t see any adverts either (or did you mean “continentseven.com” at the bottom of the screen Tomek?)
Actually I had troubles with the quicktime player in firefox… wouldn’t load properly; only gave a black screen and no video. So for me it’s perfect!
I’m Using firefox 6.0.2 (with an ad-blocker plugin, but I don’t think this will block ads that are showed at the end of a video).
wo sind denn die ganzen kommentare hinverschwunden?
?? Perhaps a cache problem?
Hm, maybe do both? Quicktime so we can study and learn moves, HTML 5 so every1 can watch, anywhere. HTML5 will probably get better in time also…

Florian,
The quality isn´t good.
I don´t know how your publishing arquitecture was built, but there are several companies that provide this kind of publishing service, you only need upload the video to its platform, and then the platform handles the rest, selects the correct protocol acording to the device where the viewer are viewing and other setups.
They manage HTML5, flash, quicktime, etc.
We manage this kind of project with 2 companies (I manage a Social Media Agency)
If you want I can send you reference of these providers. Send me an email.
Thanks!!

Thanks Fer, dropped an email.
Good job,
but now there are some problems with the site,
several Videos do not download and open at all,
“Reload” the page does not do any good, some videos still don’t start.
Same as Sjoerd.
Working frame by frame
no ad
control bar in normal an full screen mode.
On Linux better than Quicktime.
The new player is very jerky and inconsistent on firefox, i am pretty sure its not my computer and i have the latest update.
Also from a freestylers POV i use the frame by frame function all the time and is the main reason i use this website. It would be a real shame to see this function disappear.
Hi Ali!
Thanks for your feedback. Because we know, how important the frame by frame function is, we still will offer the .mp4 file (below the video) for download, which you can open then in your Quick Time.
This i realise but its the convience of having this function avialable to me at a fingers click rather than having to download the file then open it in a separte player etc……..
With out this option it will take significantly longer to browse the site.
The video starts smooth but then stops, timeline not really working and for what ever reason my Processor is working hard.
Firefox 8.0.1
OSX 10.6.8
Intel Core 2 Duo 1,83
Same here.
Runs ok once fully loaded, but took longer even with this low quality clip. I’d love to see these on my android, but not if takes forever and means losing frame by frame functionality.
Safari 5.1.1
OSX 10.6.8
Intel Core i5 3.6GHz
Thanks for the feedback.
True. I suppose you’re right, we need better video compression.
Bitte wieder den Quicktime player!!!
First of all I was very happy about this planned change as I also missed the possibility to watch the moves on my Android device. And in fact downloading and/or watching the clip on my Android tablet works perfect now and with the App “V1 Golf” I am able to watch the moves frame-by-frame (also mirroring and simple annotations are possible!) as I was used to on my Windows machine using Quicktime.
On the other hand side I´m not happy how the clips work on my Windows 7 Laptop (and Firefox 7.0.1). With the given example it took quite long (several minutes) until I was able to see the clip and when clicking on the mp4 download link I only received a failure message (Quicktime not installed …).
Having both versions (actual one for Windows-based machines and new one for mobile OS devices) would be perfect!
Thanks for the feedback Sipio.
Why not, i’ll try to implement both players.
much better
Aother thing, not related to the video player. Too many new videos! The good stuff gets buried too fast. Perhaps have a showcase for highly rated videos?
