Before settling/giving up and sticking with the default WordPress video player which is pretty good all on its own. So I tried all of the ways to present video inside of WordPress. Especially for a lot of the guides I have online.

Now that I’m on WordPress I realized that maybe I wasn’t using my website to its fullest potential. But still, Ouch! Click here to view this antique. It’s 1:05 minutes, 320×240 in resolution 24fps and a horrific 10.7MB in size! Now since there’s animated backgrounds going that will affect its compression a little.

Ukidig.mpg – This video was encoded using the same utility that I used on my website years ago. mpg could be played on virtually any computer, even an Amiga with a 68020 20mhz processor (at about 4-8fps but still played!) mpg did come at a price and I’ll get to that in a bit. It was at this time I started to release some videos of my 3-d modeling in.

Over time companies like Apple QuickTime and DivX started to provide options for people to host video content on their websites while YouTube was off being it’s own entity establishing web 2.0 during y2k. That’s it! Web Progression through streaming. If you wanted a video you download it to your hard-drive and play it with a dedicated player. Partially because the whole notion of having streaming content on your website in the age of dial-up modems was one of those unheard of things. There wasn’t much of a standard in terms of web-streaming video much less a variant of WebM. When I built my first web-page back in 1998. But as I looked at the logs on my server and WordPress still has a lot of work to do on their video insertion plugin. Originally, I was going to an article on just WebM and the advantages it gives me in WordPress. WebM and the things WordPress was hiding from me.
