Someday ago, we have discussed how to get more views with HTML 5 video in previous post. Now, we are going to make this tutorial which tells how to build a HTML 5video blog.

Let’s suppose if you were individual who has some video to add on your WordPress blog or website; maybe it’s a video about your last travel, family gathering or birthday party. Or you were company that want to provide videos for customers; maybe it’s a company event, conference or teaching materials. Whatever it is, blogging video in HTML5 has lots of benefits:

Native video support: HTML5 videos can be built directly into supporting browsers, which enables publishers to deliver full-motion, high-quality video faster.

No plug-in restriction: because of the native browser support, video is not restricted by third party plug-in like Flash.

SEO friendly: HTML5 improves search engines’ understanding of the structure and content of a video. HTML tags like the “section” tag, which enables you to explain the topic of page sections, and the “nav” tag, by which a mobile device browser can make a link, help search engines more accurately categorize content and links.

Accessibility: for the obvious reasons Flash video makes you poop pants on mobile platforms; HTML5 video has a better experience on mobile devices like iPhone and iPad. So visitors can access to your video on both PC and mobile.

All right, let’s get started. This tutorial teaches you step by step.

Step one: apply for domain name

Well, maybe you have already got that; this step is for green hand. It is the eternal address for your blog; like http://www.sothinkmedia.com/blog/

Step two: prepare for a server or virtual host, upload WordPress via FTP

WordPress is the most popular blogging platform. I believe you have done that, too; if not, checkthis tutorial to download and install WordPress on your own server.

Step three: create video content, convert video to right formats

The argument around standard HTML5 video format has been ages; and there’s no final answer yet. Right now, three formats are supported by different browsers: OGG, MP4 and Webm. If your video is not those formats, you will need tools to convert video format. We recommend Video Converter Pro. It is an awesome little program to convert video to all HTML5 video formats at one click; and it generates HTML5 embedded code for web integration. Embed these codes to your blog and all visitors can enjoy your videos.

1. Download Video Converter Pro and install

2. Click “Add File” to import the video you want to convert

3. Choose an Encoding profile—HTML5 video all

4. Click “Convert” button to start HTML5 video convertion

5. Embed the code to your blog

After the conversion finished, an html file and three converted the videos will show up. Right click the html file to see the original code; you can embed the code to your blog.

Step four: embed HTML5 video player

You need a HTML5 video player to play videos. There are lots of HTML5 video player available on the web, which provide codes to embed on your blog directly. Let’s take Video.js as example, to get Video.js running on a web page, you just copy the following lines into HTML document:

In the <head>:

<link href=”http://vjs.zencdn.net/c/video-js.css” rel=”stylesheet”>

<script src=”http://vjs.zencdn.net/c/video.js”></script>

In the <body>:

<video id=”my_video_1″ class=”video-js vjs-default-skin” controls
preload=”auto” width=”640″ height=”264″ poster=”my_video_poster.png”
data-setup=”{}”>
<source src=”my_video.mp4″ type=’video/mp4′>
<source src=”my_video.webm” type=’video/webm’>
</video>

After finishing all these steps, a basic and simple HTML5 video blog is built. Thus, all visitors can watch your video no matter on PC or mobile devices.

Here is an interesting video about Sothink SWF Decompiler. In this video, a cute robot will illustrate the working principle of this wonderful flash design software in an easy way. Enjoy the video below:

Once there was a cabin. And once there was a robot. The robot demolished the cabin and used the wood from the origin cabin to build a new house, a better one.

Taking the advantage of the sources and re-creating a new great building, the robot did a good job.

And it did not stop. It kept on “unbuilding” and “rebuilding” work, on and on.

So what happened then? The robot built an amazing huge palace! But it still was not the end.

Other more robots came and split the palace, just like the robot NO.1 did. They took the wood away separately and created house, boat, bridge and even plane. The “rebuilding” thing always made splendidness.

Well, actually we could also call this kind of process as “DECOMPILE”, which is what Flash decompiler tool doing.

We hope to make this easy to understand and cute animation as a metaphor of Sothink SWF Decompiler and illustrate what a SWF decompiler works like: recover FLA from SWF, extract all SWF elements including Flash actionscript, shapes, images, sounds, videos, fonts, texts, buttons, and sprites, edit SWF elements, finally export a new Flash work, and even convert the SWF to HTML5 format for publishing to more audiences with Apple iOS devices.

Video is an effective way to bring traffic to blogs, it plays important role in business. Here, we are going to share a post on this article. We all know that, as blogger or video publisher, we hope to receive maximum viewers through video.  However, how to receive as many viewers as possible?  There are some common cases from view’s perspective.

Usually, we watch video on different platforms like PC, mobile phone or tablet. So there comes the problems:Case 1: Plug-in installationIt is a common situation happened on PC. Let’s take Flash Player as example. Flash Player is widely used plug-in on PC; the browsers require installation to watch videos; your video can’t be watched without Flash Player.

Case 2: endless loading

Video loading time depends on the speed of bandwidth. Occasionally, it takes endless loading time to watch a video.

Case 3: video invisible

Invisible video usually caused by incompatible formats. The video format struggle on the web continues. Different video formats are compatible with different browsers. Sometimes, the video cannot be displayed on certain browsers.

So is there any effective way to solve the problem?

Yes, it is. HTML5 video is the way. HTML5 video is an element introduced in the HTML5 draft specification for the purpose of playing videos or movies. HTML5 video is intended by its creators to become the new standard way to show video online. It should be supported by all browsers and compatible with most of the devices like mobile phone or tablet.

Although the standard still takes time to reach the agreement, the three contenders seem to be Ogg Theora, H.264 and WebM. Most video sites seem to use H.264, while others use Ogg Theora.

The format supported by most browsers is Ogg Theora, supported by released versions of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Chromium, Opera, Konqueror, Epiphany, Origyn Web Browser and BOLT browser, while not supported by Internet Explorer nor Safari. The runner up is WebM supported by

released versions of Google Chrome Chromium Opera and Origyn Web Browser, and test versions of Mozilla Firefox. H.264 is supported by released versions of Safari, Origyn Web Browser and BOLT browser, and the test version of Internet Explorer. Those wanting Ogg Theora support in Internet Explorer and Safari can install plug-ins to get it.

How to get HTML5 video? The easiest way is to convert. You need a video converter to finish the task. Whatever the original format it is, you can convert video to HTML5 format and make HTML5 video blog

What are the benefits of HTML5 video?

As you know, HTML5 videos are compatible with most of the major browsers. Due to the trans-platform strength, HTML5 video can be played on all devices like iPhone, iPad, Android based devices and etc. So theoretically, your video can be watched by large group of people who use those devices.
