Adding video
Embed videos in web pages (HTML5)
HTML5 supports video and audio tags that allow users to play video and audio files in a browser, without an external
plug-in or player. Dreamweaver supports code hints for adding video and audio tags.
Live View renders the video, providing a preview of the video that you are embedding in the web page.
Note: Although you can embed any video in your web page, Live View does not always render all videos. The audio and
video tags are supported in Dreamweaver using the Apple QuickTime plug-in. In Windows, if the Apple QuickTime plug-
in is not installed, then the web page does not render the media content.
Inserting FLV files
Insert FLV files
You can easily add FLV video to your web pages without using the Flash authoring tool. You must have an encoded
FLV file before you begin.
Dreamweaver inserts a SWF component that displays the FLV file; when viewed in a browser, this component displays
the selected FLV file, as well as a set of playback controls.
Dreamweaver gives you the following options for delivering FLV video to your site visitors:
Progressive Download Video Downloads the FLV file to the site visitor’s hard disk and then plays it. Unlike traditional
“download and play” methods of video delivery, however, progressive download allows the video file to start playing
before the download is complete.
