Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SWFPut - SWFlash Put

None. SWFPut does no tracking at all. No information of any sort is gathered or stored or forwarded to another site, or any such thing. There is no contact made with any other site(1). These statements apply both to the WordPress user, and to site visitors. (1) The user can provide a media URL from a 3rd party site
another site is entirely up to the WordPress user or administrator.
First, note that in the editor page for posts/pages, there is a new 'metabox' named "SWFPut Video." It might be near the bottom of the page, but metaboxes
SWFPut it might be useful to drag its metabox to just below the editor.) If necessary click the metabox title to show the form. The SWFPut form might look complicated, but don't worry! There is help. At the top right of the WordPress editor pages there is a tab named (in english) "Help." Click that, and editor help material will drop
(what else?). Click that tab and . . . . . . another drop-down, this time specifically for this plugin. Near the top there are two hyperlinks
and one for (old-time style) HTML documentation. These
of the in-place help text addresses just a few items that the author (I) thought would need more explanation for a quick start. Please peruse these for use. Quickest of all, see the FAQ below entitled "Do I really need video in 3 or 4 formats?" which in spite of the name addresses quick and easy use as well as video formats.
Probably not. In most case the width and height of the video will match the intended display proportion. "Anamorphic" video is not rare, but probably not too common either. The author has seen videos on e.g., YouTube, that are distorted by wrong display aspect ratio (which is not YouTube's fault), but only a few. If you find that your video looks squeezed or stretched, you can always use a little trial & error with the display aspect setting until it looks good.
Possibly not. The help documention included with SWFPut discusses file formats for HTML5 and flash with a level of detail that -- it is hoped -- will help you make your video available to the broadest range of browsers used by your visitors. The cost of this detail is the loss of simplicity. The simplest use with not-too-bad availability would be like this: prepare your video in MP4 format; place the URL in either the "Flash video URL..." or "HTML5 video URLs..." fields[*] in the setup form, and set display size in the "Pixel Width:" and "x Height:" fields; make sure that the cursor in the editor is at the spot you want, and click the "Place new in post" button. Publish the post/page with the "Update" button. Not too difficult! Currently many browsers support MP4 for HTML5 video, but not all! The flash browser plugin has supported MP4 for a long time, but alternatives such as Gnash (a free-software flash plugin) might not. Availability
and OGG (or 'ogv', a patent-free, free-licensed type) formats. If you need video conversion software, a quick web search should yield several options. Change the procedure in the above paragraph like this: place the URL for the FLV type in the "Flash video URL..." field, place the URL for the MP4 type and the URL for the OGG type separated by a '|' in the "HTML5 video URLs..." field (and don't worry about 'codec' types discussed in the help docs). Easy, and fun! Finally, to cover all the bases, amend the the above paragraph like this: place the URL for the FLV type in the "Flash video URL..." field, place the URL for the MP4 type and the URL for the OGG type and the URL for the WEBM type separated by a '|' between each in the "HTML5 video URLs..." field . . . . [*] MP4 can be placed in either the flash or HTML5 URL fields and it will be effective for both, as long as the visitor's browser has JavaScript enabled.
