I am using video tag of HTML5. But before playing the video it shows the very first second of the video as the image; however, that image is solid black for my case; so I would like to know if I can have the default image (before hitting the play button) from somewhere of the middle of the video without using a static poster for all videos. I like to have images which will be a part of that video, I mean dynamic image as a background.
Any suggestions will help me a lot..!!
You need to generate thumbnails for your videos and use the thumbnail images using the poster attribute of the HTML5 video Tag.
<video width="320" height="240" poster="/images/w3html5.gif" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.

You can use ffmpeg to generate thumbnails at any timeline from your videos.
You can Use this poster tag
<video width="320" height="240" poster="/images/w3html5.gif" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.

Here is the code to insert video in your html document:
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
Replace movie.mp4 with your video name

I am trying to open a video in my default media player. I have inserted video hyperlinks in my HTML document.
When I click on the hyperlink, instead of opening the video, it downloads the video.
I want the hyperlink to open the video in the user's default media player without downloading the video.
This is what I have so far:

Please advise. Thank you.
This is how you can use video tag in html5:
code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

That's simply not how you embed video in html5. This is:
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
You can't open the default media player without downloading, but if you want you can make a page with just a html5 video player like Mayers said.
I not sure how to explain. It is regarding about html5 video tag. I had setted it prefect except one. When my video is loaded (not playing. only display on html), its show white background. It is because video 00:00 is white background. Can I set to 05.23 (which show more interesting view.)?
Need help. Many thanks.
You can add "posters" to your video tags, which are like default backgrounds before the video starts, see:
<video controls poster="/images/w3html5.gif">
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
So then you could save a screenshot from your video as an image, and add it as a poster.
Maybe consider using a library like Video.js, which gives you lots of additional functionality.
https://github.com/videojs/video.js/blob/stable/docs/guides/setup.md
You can specify the start position within the <source> tag itself.
<video controls>
<source src="blah.mp4#t=323" type="video/mp4">
<source src="blah.ogg#t=323" type="video/ogg">
</video>
That #t=323 will provide the start point to the html video player in seconds.
Here is my code:
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="d:/lscweb/Presentations/2015-04-07 Ampersand.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
But when I load up the page I get "Aborted" in the video player. If I do this:
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="d:/lscweb/Presentations/2015-04-07 Ampersand.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
I get "Invalid source". I assume it's trying to look up the mov_bbb.ogg file which doesn't exist. But I want it to play the first one. It's mp4. Why won't it play?
You can't use link references to absolute windows os paths.
I suggest you move the video to the same folder as your html document and just do src="video.mp4" to avoid needing to use complex relative paths.
