Best Way To Have HD Videos On Site That Will Work On Mobile Devices

[jensonseo]

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this. I am working on a site for a client who works at a video production company. They want to have a fair few HD videos on there site but also for the site and videos to be viewable on mobile devices.

I have got a responsive wordpress theme and the site is beginning to take shape. I am wondering however how I can best get the videos to display on mobile devices while maintaining a good load speed.

Until now I have been using amazon S3 which stores and feeds the videos and I use Easyvideoplayer to embed the videos. The problem is they do not appear to show up from mobile devices when using wordpress.

can anyone suggest the best way for me to still feed the videos from S3 but get them to display on mobile devices. oh, they are private videos so they cannot be placed on youtube.

Hi Jenson

I can't help with your specific question of hosting the video yourself, but I wanted to reply to say that I use a pay-as-you-go video delivery service that will serve different video file sizes depending on device. That's not the primary reason I use them... not being much of a coder, it's easy to just copy their code and paste it as you would youtube embed code. The analytics they offer is helpful as it shows me how many video views I get per page load and how much of the video is watched... how many get to the end, where it's replayed, etc. I use Bits on the Run but there are lots of others.

I think JWPlayer can help you just have to configure it correctly for mobile/desktop versions
