Video play fails on Safari 4
Video play fails on Safari 4
- On this url (http://oficina.jmbusquets.com/pruebas/Pages/Principal.aspx) I've got a project for a new web site for our company, I want to use silverlight technologies, but on the start page of my new web site there are a video, this video runs OK in explorer 8, and firefox, but in Safari 4 browser I can only hear the sound, and there are not images available. I make this video with Microsoft Expression Encoder 2.
Why? Is safari 4 not compatible with encoder 2 videos? Everybody who connects to my new website using Mac Os can not view videos correctly?
Are on Microsoft expression Encoder 2 some configuration for produce compatible videos?
Thank you very much.

- Not sure but I'll check with someone on our test team to see what versions of Safari they've been testing the output with on a Mac.

Dean. - Ok, thank you for your Replie.
The problem is that Apple Safari 4 browser does not support the parameter windowless = True on Microsoft Silverligh 2 applications.
All people who navigates from a Mac to my website they do not watch correctly the site and I don't know if I can use Silverlight.
Thank You. - Thanks for the report. Just wanted to let you know that we are testing Safari 4 with the next version of Encoder.
Regards
Dean. - What settings are you using to encode the video now?
- Probably the biggest difference is that we're testing with Silverlight 3.

Dean - Ok, my project is under Silverlight 2 (because I want to publish it on a public web server) and in all my tests ,when the parameter windowless is False, then Safari 4 reproduces without any problem the video.
On the video compression system I only can say that I am not a video editing expert, but the output generates a WMV file. If you want to know some parameter more, you shoud tell me from where can I collect it.
Thank you!!!
