So this is my website. I teach a self paced learning class for 7th grade math. So I make my own videos of me teaching and upload them to a website. This way I don't need to sit up in front of the classroom making the same speech 5 times a day, or try teaching 5 different things to 5 different students. Students can move at their own pace and I spend my time circulating and answering questions.


The issue I have run across is that next year my state is looking at replacing the laptops with ipads (a step backwards in my opinion) and ipads don't have flash. So I have all these videos on my website (over 100 easy) that i have made that won't work anymore. What can I do? Most of the videos range from 750mb to 1.8 gb.
 
Good Idea

You dont need flash to play videos on your ipads. You will be fine. If your videos are uploaded to Youtube or something you will be fine. Look it up on the web, there are tons of ipad reviews showing people playing on youtube and other flash oriented sites.

Enjoy the ipads!

If you ever need anything in regards to site design, Youtube, etc. don't hesitate to come check us out.

You need to have above things to consider for ipad support only if you are not using youtube for hosting your videos.
 
There are countless of plugins that play video on HTML5 , with flash fallback, in case that the browser doesn't support html5. I used jPlayer, and it proved to be one of the best and it really gives you a lot of control as a developer.
 
1) my videos are not uploaded to youtube. I thought when i said they range from 750mb - 1.8gb that was obvious.

2) I have no idea what you other two are talking about. I have not had a lot of experience with an ipad. I don't have a file conversion program. etc.

3) I have tested them on an ipad and they don't work.

4) I upload my videos to google drive and drop them onto my google sites websites.

Do you make your webpage? if so,
-upload videos on your website (doesn't matter where).
-insert them in your webpage using <video> tag http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_video.asp

-play the god damned videos.

The ipads should be able to play them very well, so, you don't need flash fallback. Just do the thing above.

I use google sites. I have to upload my videos via google drive. It isn't like a typical website where you have storage that you can refer to with a link in a tag. The videos I have put on this site have not worked with the ipad I have used. And the attitude isn't really necessary.
 
Google owns youtube, and the video player thats on the page you linked is the youtube player. But you are right that it dose not work on an ipad I just tested it.

Two options. Re upload your videos to youtube then embed the youtube videos into your page.

Or as mentioned before use the html5 video tag, but you have to convert your videos to .mp4 .

You should look for software to compress your videos to smaller sized ones.

So what software would I use? That is my issue. I would love to upload these to youtube, but they are so damn big and long i cannot.
 
1)Upload to Youtube

2)Copy the Embed code

3)Paste on your Site

Use Freemake Video Converter its a great free Software
