Software :: Ogg Theora, H.264 And The HTML 5 Browser Squabble
Jul 6, 2009
Pundits are roasting Apple over a scuffle raised by Mozilla and Opera to define the free Ogg Theora video codec as the official way to present video on the web in the new HTML 5 specification. The problem: HTML isn't supposed to define content codecs, and even if it were, Ogg Theora, commercially abandoned nearly a decade ago, doesn't have what it takes to deliver video on the increasingly mobile web. While the tech media has largely portrayed the disagreement as either a huge roadblock for HTML 5 or a war between free software advocates and big corporations, the reality is that specifications like HTML 5 are not intended to enforce political views but rather to foster interoperability. At issue is the video format specified in the new HTML 5, a situation that is new because the HTML specification has never defined a simple system for embedding video in the same way that web developers can place ordinary graphics within their pages.

So I typed up some simple html code in text edit and saved it as an html file. However, when I preview it in firefox or safari it only shows the code. I even tried saving the code in word as an html file and it does the same thing.
This is my code...very simple:
<html>
<body>
<h1> Carly Krysak</h1>
<p>Marketing Director</p>
<h2>Frank's Auto Supermarket</h2>
<p>P: 724.430.2000</p>
<p>F: 724.438.5990</p>
<a href="http://tiny.cc/FbWeSpeakCar">Facebook</a>
<a href="www.autosupermarket.com">Website</a>
<a href="www.GrindingGearsBlog.com">Blog</a>
</body>
</html>
I'd like to use this code to create a custom signature for my email so I thought maybe it's just having a problem previewing and I followed the steps to use the code for my signature and it also just shows the html.

I'm new to a Mac and although I love the mac, I'm having a few issues that I simply can't figure out. trying to create a website locally that eventually I'll FTP to a live site. On the Mac I am using Safari and Firefox. When I bring up the .html file all I see is the code in those browsers. That same code on my pc brings up the website in Safari, Firefox or IE so it's not the code. I'm seeing things about a local server but don't know if that applies to me or not. In the address bar of the browser it says file:///Users/myusername/Documents/Website/TestSite.html where myusername is my actual User Name. I've also now checked web sharing and followed the directions on viewing webpages you put in your Sites folder (which is where I have overwritten the index.html file that came with the Mac) and now that doesn't work either. I'm getting a little frustrated. I'm sure this is a low level question, but I've never used a mac before so this is all new to me.

I'm looking for a professional grade video conversion software that can convert Quicktime (.mov) files to HTML5 video formats such as Ogg Theora and WebM. There are tons of free ones but I haven't found one that does a very good job. I've tried Bigasoft's converters but I'm a bit disappointed with their very basic quality settings. I'd like to have more control over parameters such as bitrates, variable passes, etc.
Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

When making a website, say from scratch, I'm looking for a HTML editor.
For ex. when working with IE and you right-click > view source and the notepad pops up.
I'm looking for something along those lines for a Mac, that way I can get some practice in etc etc.
What program would you recommend?

I am trying to create an email newsletter using Entourage 2008 for Mac. I've been searching everywhere for the past hour and can't figure it out. I can create an html page displaying what I want in the e-mail very easily, however I don't know how to get it into the e-mail. Do I need to pay for a service for this or what?

I have used a free program called mi 2.1.6 which does a nice job of highlighting tags, but has been unsupported for a few years now. I was wondering if there was anything better out there - free, donationware, or paid - that anyone feels is a great program worth trying ?
I have done a bit of research already, and came up with this article http://mac360.com/index.php/mac360/comments/faceoff_which_is_the_best_text_editor_ever/
Anyone have a personal favorite ?

Is it me or Safari 5 on Windows has no support for the <video> element? I did an HTML 5 test on this page [URL:..] and it scored 165 but it scored none in video. I tried Vimeo on HTML 5 and videos wont play. Is it simply disabled? If it is where can I enable it?

I need some helping doing some (hopefully) simple HTML editing on my customized Google homepage. Basically, what I'm looking to do is shorten the width of the search bar as shown in the attached screenshot. As far as right-clicking "Inspect Element" on the search bar itself, I'm totally lost as to what to put in the editing window that appears and where/how to do it.

I'm switching from Thunderbird to Mail.app. How do I disable HTML email?
According to Apple, it can be done by following these directions, however the option it mentions ("Display images and embedded objects in HTML messages") is not available. The only thing I see is "Display remote images in HTML messages," which I have unchecked, but HTML email is still coming through just without the images.

Using Apple Mail, is there any way to compose mail in HTML, where the font used to compose won't be overwritten by the default plain text font in the recipient's inbox?
Basically, I want the emails I send to look exactly like they do when they're on my screen, not reformatted to a plain text.

Does anyone know of a free mac HTML or CSS editor? I'm looking to change some things in my wordpress style page and I need some assistance.
I know the mac comes with text editor, but I don't like that. The find function is useless.

I just recently got a new Mac Book Pro and am trying to learning HTML. When I open up a HTML file that's located on my computer to view how it looks using firefox and safari it just shows the code. I have opened up the same files on my windows computer using Firefox and IE and they display correctly.I'm new to the Mac OS so I'm not sure if its a setting that I need to change or if I'm going about it incorrectly but any help would be much appreciated. I've also duel booted windows and I get the same results.

I have created a decent Pages document that I will be mailing out, but I also have the need to email it to my clients and maybe post it to a webpage. I know I can save the doc as a PDF and send it that way, but I was wondering if there is a way to convert the file to HTML and use that in my email and website. Anyone have a tool or tip on how to do that?
My Pages document has a small table of data and a graph.
It would take me a long time to convert by hand in some other HTML editor as I am not good at that.

I send e-newsletters out from Constant Contact. I would like to be able to link to those newsletters from by website. Tech at CC said to right click on the newsletter and and access the html code for it and paste that onto my website page. But when I right-click, the html code doesn't show. Is there a different way to do this using a mac?

I know my coding is perfect, I used to work on the pc with it. Now moving to a Mac... I'm having such difficulty its starting to frustrate me. I've googled ways to solve it and they all say change the rich text and so on so forth. I've done that yet no change has occured for me. When I bought this, I asked if I could do my codes on it and the guy said yes, that I could do it straight from my textedit.

I have always had html mail issues with my iMac since August 2011. I use yahoo. For the most part, 90% of my emails display html just fine. The problem I have is one day an email will display html fine and then the next it would be in text form practically useless. And for some html emails, it never displayed the email correctly albeit my iPhone 5S does.My preference for displaying remote images in html is obviously checked.
P.S. Another issue I have with Mail is that all my Yahoo folders (under mailboxes) after having Mail opened for a length of time will disppear out of the blue. In order to get them back, I have to close out Mail and relaunch. I still have access to inbox, sent, trash, and junk. But "Yahoo!" folders displayed under those are gone for some reason until I relaunch.
