iOS Video format

[Abu Rayane]

Hello everybody,

I tried to watch MP4 files on my iPhone, but it does NOT work, is there any specifications that should be present to watch these videos?

Thanks in advance

mp4 is a video container format and many different video codecs can be stored in mp4 files. iOS certainly does play mp4 files but it depends what codec was used.

See this

or use Mr Google

Thanks PhoneyDeveloper, I will look on it

You should probably use H.264 for the video codec if you want it to work in as many places as possible. Including in just about all browsers, iOS, Android and many other devices.

Basically, I use H.264, but still did not get it to work

Please provide more specifics on how "it does not work". What are your results vs. what you expect? Are you getting errors? If so, what do they say? If it's crashing, what do the crash reports say?

P.S. I suggest you read the following blog article from Mike Ash on Getting Answers.

There is no error, it shows a blank area where the video is located, you can see an example here

So, you're just asking how to do this for a web page, then. Hmm, I suggest you ask your question in the Web Design and Development forum instead.
