New Embed codes For YouTube videos

Posted on by

YouTube has announced a new version of embedding code for Youtube videos . The new code will use an iframe that lets you watch both embedded videos in Flash and in HTML5, according to the users’ browser settings.

The default is to show HTML5 , and it automatically switches to Flash if HTML5 is not available.

According to YouTube, “another benefit of the new code is that in the future Youtube will play videos on mobile devices, which typically use players’ built-in” instead of Flash or HTML5. Android and iPhone phones and others use a special application to display the videos on YouTube, while the mobile browser using a plugin that detects the YouTube code and replace it by its built-in app. The new code will use the tag in HTML5 browsers that support it.

While sandboxing and HTML5 adds functionality to transfer messages, Flash is only used practically to embed content from other websites.

Here is an example video, feel free to view source:

To embed the above video, I simple entered the following code in HTML.

<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0">
</iframe>

Change the VIDEO_ID to your own youtube Video ID. The code is much simpler and short than the original Embed codes.

One of the questions that I had been asking is ‘why Google does not have a cloud-based program to edit and modify videos on YouTube’. And now, YouTube Now (finally) has a new simple, video editor online.

With the editor you can easily create new videos with pieces from your videos you’ve uploaded on the youtube channels. You drag the desired video programs in the timeline and for each video separately, you can edit certain parts of the video and cut\copy and edit instantly!

As for the audio, you can choose from a number of standard songs of famous and lesser known artists.

Here is a video, on how to edit videos on the cloud:

The editor can be found at youtube.com/editor

3 idiots movie

Aamir Khan, marketing genius is at work again, one can expect the craziest ways of promoting a film. This time the producers of 3 Idiots have struck a deal with online video sharing and broadcasting portal YouTube for an undisclosed sum.

This legal downloading of films is aimed at people who are unable to go to the cinema. Known that this is the first time an entire movie can be legally downloaded from YouTube, of course it was already possible to download camera prints of the movie as a workaround, this is the first time a HQ DVD was available for download.

Bollywood producer Vinod Chopra has announced:

“The movie will be released on YouTube after eight to ten weeks,” The deal with YouTube will allow viewers to download the entire movie from the Web at a fixed price. “We haven’t decided on the pricing points yet, but we hope this will stop illegal download and video sharing,”

According to a recent report released by Motion Picture Association of America, India ranks eight among countries with the highest incidence of online piracy. I’m sure the only way to maximize revenues is to have multiple launch platform and youtube (the worlds largest and popular video service) is one of them.. :) .

The film download is not free, there is a certain amount paid before the movie can be downloaded (pay-per-download). How much should be paid is not known yet. It is also not known how big the download will be and whether there are other restrictions. Stay tuned :) .

I watch lots of videos on Youtube :) so I’ve got some tricks of my own that I would like to share, which might be helpful while using Youtube. There are some tricks that you could do while loading a Youtube video.
Linking to point in video

You can easily create a link to a specific point in a YouTube video. To do this you add the time the video you want to start a link, eg # t = 45s.

E.g. A full link to a video in that case example: http://youtube.com/watch?WvJGfJQgk9kv=#t=45s. These are only the number of seconds, even minutes to add the feed: # t = 1m45s.
Start a video after certain time has elapsed

If you put a video on a website can only agree that a video is a certain time after a certain time. Thus it is useful if for example the first 15 seconds of a video can skip immediately. For embedded players is the possibility to make it start from a certain point. This is done by the embed code “& start = 15″ add to the two URLs.
Upload videos via Mobile

One possibility is to quickly YouTube videos made with a mobile phone to upload the video website. To do this you own a secret email address where you send the video back then automatically appears on YouTube. You find your unique email address on the page: youtube.com / mobile.
Download your own video

Its possible to download the videos you’ve uploaded. You can do this by going to the page (http://youtube.com/my_videos) with the summary of your videos. And you would get an option to download as an MP4 download “for that specific video.
Popup videos

Videos can be opened in a separate popup so you can leave YouTube itself. A quick pop open a video using the right button.
