The Kyle File

It's more than the name, the faith, or the creed. Falling in love with Jesus brought the change in me.

Hey, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters and you who have no silver, come, buy and eat: come, I say, buy wine and milk without silver and without money. Why do you lay out silver and not for bread, and your labour without being satisfied? Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight in fatness. Encline your ears and come to me: hear, and your soul shall live, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Behold, I gave him for a witness to the people, for a prince and a master to the people. Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, and the holy one of Israel: for he has glorified you.

Isaiah 55:1-5, THE HOLY BIBLE

I discovered the poster attribute in the video tag, along with the proper ffmpeg command to pull an image from an arbitrary video frame. So the black boxes that once characterized my videos have now been replaced with frames from the videos themselves. My code gets a little longer, but I have a template that I copy and paste from, so it’s still extremely easy to implement, and at least in Firefox 4.0, accessibility to screen readers is much better than with the Flash plugin.

In honor of the first birthday of WebM, my HTML5 video page is now up, offering the ability to watch and download the videos I post to The Kyle File. Your browser should automatically display the video players if it can, and if not, it will show you the download link for the video and a link to the version on my Youtube channel. Due to some trouble I’m having with my video editor, only one of my two videos is online and fully functional at the moment, but I hope to have the problem fixed soon.

Also, I have an unfortunate correction to report. In an earlier post, I mentioned offering downloads of video files in the mp4 format along with the WebM files. Unfortunately, due to space constraints, I will only be offering WebM files. But don’t dispare. WebM is a format that is becoming more widely supported each day, it will soon be the primary format used by Youtube, and a link to the Youtube version of each video will be included for browsers and devices that don’t yet support WebM, both on the video page and when I post a video in the future. Yes, I will still be posting to Youtube, I just wanted anadditional and easier way for people to be able to not only watch, but also download my video files.

if the nations could open up their heart, to the King of Glory.. we invite you.. we invite you.. Lord, have your way.
