I am migrating my D6 site to D7 and as part of the migration am trying to future-proof it for possible extension to serving the content (mainly images and video) to a tablet/mobile app.

At present all my videos are in flv format which I understand likely wont play nicely with the flash-less iPad/iPhones.

So, what is the preferred video format for such platforms (IOS/Android) and is there a Drupal module which would allow this new format to equally be viewable on the 'regular' web (i.e. from a PC/Mac).

To be clear I am trying to avoid FormatA for web and FormatB for app which would then require multiple encodings. Has anyone tackled this already and is there a preferred path/format?

In case there is another issue, my images are PNG which I assume wont be an issue? the only thing I can think of that would affect them if the image proportions.

Many thanks for any input,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Have you seen http://fitvidsjs.com/. It's described as a lightweight, easy-to-use jQuery plugin for fluid width video embeds, if you combine this with a responsive theme then in theory it will be compatible with desktop as well as mobile devices.

Thanks
Stuart

Paul - Did you get any solution? I am facing the same problem. My D7 site is having flash videos which don't work on Android/IOS.
