In the previous articles, we introduced the characteristics of HTML5 and the basic knowledge that needs to be mastered. Now let’s start to truly experience the advantages of Html5. Let’s start making a beautiful video player. Don’t worry, before we start making it. Let’s first understand the basic knowledge of video files.
1. Video format
The currently more mainstream and commonly used video formats are: avi, rmvb, wmv, mpeg4, ogg, and webm. These videos are composed of three parts: video, audio, and encoding format. In HTML5, there are currently many different sets of encoders depending on the browser:
H.264 (personally not optimistic): This encoder is the encoder in Apple systems including Apple mobile phones, and has a patent video encoder. Royalties may be charged for any part of the encoding and transmission process. Therefore, Safari (Apple's browser) and Internet Explorer support this encoder. However, at a time when open source has become a general trend, it is still charging patent fees in browsers. I am really not optimistic about it.
Theora: This is a patent-free encoding format and a free video encoder for all levels of encoding, transmission and playback. Chrome, Firefox and Opera support this encoder.
VP8: This video encoder is similar to Theora, but its owner is Google, which has been open source, so no patent fees are required. Chrome, Firefox and Opera support this encoder.
AAC: audio codec, the same as H.264, this audio codec has patent restrictions, Safari, Chrome and Internet Explorer support this audio codec.
MP3: Also a patented technology, this audio encoder is supported by Safari, Chrome and Internet Explorer.
PCM: A format for storing data on audio CDs that stores complete data encoded by an analog-to-digital converter. Therefore, the file size of the Chinese lossless encoder is generally several times that of AAC and MP3 files. Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer support this audio encoder.
Vorbis: The file extension is .ogg, sometimes also called Ogg Vorbis. This audio encoder is not protected by patents and is therefore copyright free. Supported browsers include Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
Video and audio supported by major browsers and devices
2. In html5, you can use the There are many attributes in the video tag. For example, the controls attribute can control whether There is a console. From the above video formats, we can see that different browsers support different video formats, so we can use the 3.
