HTML doesn't know anything about video at all. If you're using an EMBED
or OBJECT tag to place a video on a web page, and you know that your
users' browsers will be using a specific plug-in to play the video, and
the plug-in comes from a software manufacturer that offers documentation
on what attributes to use in the EMBED tag or what PARAM tags to use
inside the OBJECT tag, then you're in luck. But that's extremely
unlikely, and it will only work for users that happen to have that
particular plug-in. Bottom line: it's best not to display video in a web
page, but to provide a link to the media resource, and then let the
user's computer pop up whichever player is installed on it that can
handle that video's format.

No; not with the use of (X)HTML markup.

And here we finally did get the proof :-)

AOL is still in the lead, but just with a few fragments of a point
before Google, in the ever running competition for most clueless post to
a usenet NG.

Certain media players can be scripted to perform such functions, but
assuming this is a *web* site there is no way of knowing what media
player the user uses, thus attempting to do this is folly.

Edit the video so that it starts where you want instead.

Is there a Linux PHP module so that I can process web cam video with Linux PHP from multiple USB ports?

If that inspires you to do your own system, please do so -- I love it when people can make big cash with Linux!) For discussions here, realize that...

I have wmv8 video files embeded in html pages. The video plays with no problems, but it does not allow the user to scan the video's time line.

The option to move around in the movie time line is disabled. I tried different settings and it still doesn't work. I even tried it...

In followups by Brian O'Connor (ironcorona) to other posts, he repeats the idea that using tables in CSS is not something that should be done because IE doesn't support it.

And tables of one type or the other are needed in some cases (regardless of whether some people feel it is appropriate or not). So the issue I and considering...

Does anyone know how to recognise the image capture signal from a medical scope such as a video colonoscope? I've got video streaming from the scope to the computer but want my app to recognise when the scopes image capture button is pressed, rather than have to capture the image by pressing a button in my app. Thanks in advance

Is it possible to layer HTML over video content, or is video rendered at the top-most level in a browser? I am trying to layer some HTML content over a video file using CSS positioning, but the video remains the front-most thing. I've tried adjusting the z-index so that the HTML content has a higher z-index value, but no luck. Any way to make the HTML content the top-most thing?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
