Videos on websites (March 2016)

When we created this webpage in February 2003 to present our project, there was no easy way to put a video on the homepage, so that the user can watch it without installing codecs, plugins or add-ons. So we decided to use GIF animations to show at least some of our work.

Today, nearly 13 years later, there is a simple possiblity to accomplish this task. The movie file has to be an MP4 container and must use the video codec H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and the audio codec Advanced Audio Coding (AAC).
Such a video file can be played in the current versions of the established (mobile) browsers.

As example the file 'example.mp4' is shown on a plain HTML page: 

<doctype html>
<head></head>
<body>
<video width="720" height="576" controls>
  
  Your browser does not support 
  HTML5 - Video.
</video>
</body>
</html>

Additionally it would be easy to modify the position of the video by changing HTML or CSS formats.
