Embedding smartphone (and other) videos into Viewlets

[Rado]

Currently, you can embed videos in SWF (Flash) or FLV (Flash Video) formats into your Viewlets. A question that comes up often is - how can I embed videos in other common formats, such as those from smartphones?

This is possible if you convert them into the FLV format first. There are many online conversion tools available for the FLV format, so simply searching for "convert to FLV" should give you some links. One of the tools that we have tested is http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-flv - it supports 45 input formats, so you may want to give it a try if you ever need to embed a video into your Viewlet!
