Dear List -

This might not be the correct address for this problem. If it is
not, please direct me appropriately.

I am trying to play a video. The following code is in Index1.html:

<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls" src=
<file:///home/ethan/Gingy/Converted_Files/DSCF0142.mov>"file:///home/ethan/Gingy/Converted_Files/DSCF0142.mov"
type="video/mov" >

If I try to to call it from index3.html: <a href="Index1.html"></a>

No luck, it will not play.

If I try to play from the terminal - /usr/bin/mplayer
/home/ethan/Gingy/Converted_Files/DSCF0142.mov

I receive the following errors:

[VD_FFMPEG] Trying pixfmt=0.
Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale...
Opening video filter: [scale]
The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
Try appending the scale filter to your filter list,
e.g. -vf spp,scale instead of -vf spp.

Help and advice, please.

Ethan

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video, no major browser
supports "video/mov" in a <video /> element. I might be misreading, but
you might have better luck converting it into webm, H.264 or Theora
format.
