Oh, look, it plays on iPod touch and iPad. Oh, look, it's not HTML5 nor is it flash. Oh, look, it's NOT A DIRECT LINK.

As evidenced by my above html page with embedded video, Silock's testimony as an iPad user, Tech Crunch's article, and a plethora of other users, writers, and developers, you are just wrong for suggesting a black and white world.
Direct links aren't even relevant to anyone's point. Especially not mine. |
And your FAIL is now complete...
Source from your page...
Code:
embedsrc="http://kobrien15.webfactional.com/DAVTAKE5.mov"
THAT my friend is a direct link. You took the raw video and linked directly to it... I understand how you got confused due to it being an "embed"... embedding IS a direct link to the file...the tag just tells the browser "hey I've linked some multimedia... use whatever plugin/native player you have built in"... but either way... you are DIRECTLY LINKING to the raw file... the only difference is that instead of an href link the file "MAY" play inline instead of spawning a seperate window/app.
NOW do you see my point? Do I need to explain why that practice was abandoned years ago?
