Video Player Formats Supported

VIDEO FORMATS

The formats of videos accepted by the TSVideo players are conditioned by the version of the Flash Player installed on the end-user's computer.

The format FLV is Flash's own video format, which is why it is supported by most Flash players, however, the rest of possible video formats (mp4, m4a, mov, 3gp, 3g2), are only supported starting from the Flash Player version 9 update 3 (9,0,115,0).

Note: We recommend that you convert all the videos into FLV format, widening the number of users who can enjoy them.

Some ways of converting a video into a FLV format:

Flash Video Encode, distributed with Flash
Sorenson Squeeze for Flash MX (http://www.sorensonmedia.com/)
The ON2 Flix Encoders (http://www.on2.com/)
The RivaVX FLV Encoder (http://www.rivavx.com/?encoder)
The VisualHub Video Converter (http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/)
The ZamZar website (http://www.zamzar.com/).
The HeyWatch! website (http://heywatch.com/).
The FFMPEG compression suite (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ffmpeg)
The other way is to upload your files onto http://www.youtube.com, these files are converted automatically.

PLAYLIST FORMATS

The TSVideo player accepts several playlist formats. They are:

XSPF (http://xspf.org/xspf-v1.html).
ATOM (http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom).
RSS 2.0 with media support (http://search.yahoo.com/mrss).
AGRIYA.

An example of a valid playlist in XSPF format is shown below.

<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">

     <info>http://xspf.org/xspf-v1.html</info>

SUBTITLE FILE FORMAT

If you wish to associate a subtitle file to any of your videos, the required format is Timed Text (TT) XML (http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/)

An example of the subtitle file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tt xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2006/04/ttaf1" xmlns:tts="http://www.w3.org/2006/04/ttaf1#styling">
    <head>
        <styling>
            <style id="1" tts:textAlign="right"/>
            <style id="2" tts:color="transparent"/>
            <style id="3" style="2" tts:backgroundColor="white"/>
            <style id="4" style="2 3" tts:fontSize="20"/>
        </styling>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div xml:lang="en">
            <p begin="00:00:00.00" dur="00:00:03.07">I had just joined <span tts:fontFamily="monospaceSansSerif,proportionalSerif,TheOther" tts:fontSize="+2">Macromedia</span> in 1996,</p>
            <p begin="00:00:03.07" dur="00:00:03.35">and we were trying to figure out what to do about the internet.</p>
            <p begin="00:00:06.42" dur="00:00:03.15">And the company was in dire straights at the time.</p>
        </div>
    </body>
</tt>
