Tom,
I’m finding the issue is more complex, and I’m still trying to get to the
bottom of it.
Daily Motion, Vimeo, and YouTube pages all work on the Mac LC browser plugin.
Daily Motion, Vimeo, and some YouTube pages don’t in Windows. However, most of
the gazillion YouTube videos work very well, just not all of the ones we made
for our channel. Most of our videos were compressed on a Mac, but for all but a
couple YouTube shows an error in the video window:
"Your browser can’t play this video. Learn more."
'Learn more' shows a page that only says the browser is compatible.
We made two on a Windows machine, one works, but the other doesn’t—both using
the work flow, same compressor/wrapper ( I don’t know which).
I’ve tried recompressing on the Mac a sample video using everything available,
including Ogg. None work in Windows from our YouTube channel.
I’m going to retry compressing within a Windows app. See if it makes a
difference.
It seems to me the issue is more than lack of support for h264.
