Encoding Video for Android
In my preÂviÂous post, MakÂing HTML5 Video work on Android phones, I said that you have to encode your videos as .m4v
in order for them to work in Android. This isn’t actuÂalÂly corÂrect. The sufÂfix can be either .mp4
or .m4v
, what matÂters is the way the video is encoded.
Now, there are loads of blog and forum posts which give difÂferÂing advice on preÂsets and paraÂmeÂters, and I’m no expert — so what I’ll do is just show you two quick ways that worked for me (I have a SamÂsung Galaxy S).
