Playing MP4 videos

I simply want to be able to have my parents view videos of their new grandson. I took a mov file (that is what my cam saves it as), used Miro Video Player (also tried Handbrake) to get a mp4 version and then jwPlayer to stream it. It all works on my local machine but when I deploy it on Winhost, it fails.

So 2 questions. What should I use to do the conversion and what video player have people successfully used on Winhost.

btw, I did contact Winhost, one told me they throttle down vidoes, then another tech told me they don't and it is jwPlayer, etc etc.

So I am looking for community help on this. I am looking for sw that will convert mov to mp4 and a javascript app that will stream videos.

btw, I tried html5 video tag and have issues in that also.

Thanks
Ralph

 

I did. First person who responded to me told me that, then another tech support person said that isn't the issue.

 

also does that mean it wouldn't work in IE and google. It somewhat works in FF. Here is my link.

very very simple code.

 

You could try the AppGeeker video converter, its converted everything I've thrown at it and is easier to use.
