iphone video.... annoying the hell out of me. HELP!!

Ok, so I just thought that seeing as though the iphone was for h.264 formats, that that is all I had to do.

I just want to throw a few home movies onto a dreamweaver made webpage.

I open visualhub, select my .mov, and click the MP4 tab and click h.264 format.

I then open dreamweaver, and place the said movie into a page...

It works on the mac, I can see it working fine in safari... but on the iphone I see a broken icon.

What step am I missing.

I just want to have something dailymotion like....

any hints??

Not just any H.264 video is going to work, you need to ensure that your video follows the rules for iPhone playback:



So long as the resolution and data rate are set correctly you need to make sure that you set the encode to the Baseline Profile.

I'm not familiar with Visual hub, shouldn't it have a iPhone/iPod encode option?

Click to expand...

Well, yes it does... and I thought that is EXACTLY what I did.... but maybe visualhub isn't the way to go.

Ok, lets go about this another way. I open quicktime on my mac, and record a 30 second movie.... can I direct from quicktime Pro save this for my needs?

I GOT IT!!!!

you know when you just figure something out by yourself that has been driving you nuts for so long... Well, it just hit me.

Forget youtube and all those.... I can do it my bloody self now.

I am one really happy chappy!!!

I figured it out YEAH!

Sorry... compose myself!!!

Thanks for the tip... I think you may have pushed me into the correct way of thinking. I can save from quicktime Pro, straight into export for web... then taking my new iphone format, simply ftp onto my server.... put a link to the video on my sites page.. and done!

My iphone, once hitting the link, opens the video wonderfully (just like dailymotion!!) jajjajajaajajajaj NICE ONE SON!
