Set Video URLS

Upload a video to your site via ftp, and enter the full url of the video in the fields.

An “MPEG” version of your video (a file ending with “.mp4”) is mandatory.

MPEG will work almost everywhere except Firefox on Macs.  Because of this, it’s also important to include an alternative version of the video, which can be either “WEBM” or “OGV”.  Firefox on Mac supports both of these, so you only need one or the other.

Here’s a free tool you can use to create “ogv” and “webm” versions of your video.
