Usability extension

Oh Noes!! Another bug… :blush: If you have a Windows computer, you’ll notice it in Vic’s posting here.

There are two popular video formats, both based on the “H.264” video compression standard. The first is .mp4, which is produced by Android smartphones and tablets. The second is .mov, which is a video container for videos produced on iOS (iPhones, iPads). Different container files, but same compression standard.

Many of the videos uploaded for Carlisle 2019 came from Ron’s Android phone (.mp4), or my iPhone (.mov). We plugged both our phones into my Windows computer, and I uploaded to the site from Windows. Both .mp4’s and .mov’s played in Windows (and I assume, Android - I don’t have an Android device). However, the .mp4’s wouldn’t play on my iPhone. That’s what I fixed yesterday.

But today, Vic uploaded a .mov from an Apple device. It plays on my iPhone - but not in Windows!

For those who are graphically oriented, here’s the situation:

(sigh…) I’ll get to work on it. Sorry for the inconvenience!
