Media Players

There are several media players (i.e. containers) that are available out there. Its up to you to adopt one that fits your needs. Although portable media players for mobile apps are becoming more and more popular, this page is strictly about making sure your video transcoded material fits into some kind of container, so that your audience can copy and paste your embed container onto their web sites for their pleasure of watching your personal project!

Which media player to adopt?

We enjoy the use of this FLV Player. And you?

For this video project

The video container being used for this project is a FLV friendly media player developped by Palatipus.nl.

However, there are better containers out there.
There are many more video players available out there.

One must ask why this media player as opposed to another? There is no right and wrong answer for this question. It's a question of taste and making sure you get the maintenance support afterward.

If you have another media player you wish to document and use, please let us know as we welcome your contribution.

Download Platipus.nl

You can pick-up the player at Foxtab.com or directly at Platipus.nl
