Enable VideoJS to play .mov - ffmpeg

I have set up a wordpress theme called Video Board, the site I am building allows users to upload their videos for comments. Uploading a video from a mobile device is critical, the theme supports mp4 which covers android users, however it does not support .mov. Has anyone come across a way to play .mov in videojs?
The server has ffmpeg installed, however the last plugin I tried needed its own upload page which worked however videos were not captured in the themes latest uploads/popular posts etc.
I know a conversion would be the proper way to do it, but at this point I would even be happy working out a way that when users upload videos through the theme upload page, it doesn't actually convert but just changes the file extension(renames) it to .mp4, as that is all I have been doing to fill out some content.
I am open to all suggestions,
Thanks,
Sam

There are tech plugins for video.js, but these will require browser plugins. You're far better off converting the mov files after upload to standard formats, e.g. h264/acc MP4

Webview webpage + Video or Youtube

I recently found a digital billboard project called DisplayMonkey, which shows me digital content such as: images, videos, html, etc. The problem is that when you show a YouTube video or any other media this does not automatically reproduce.
To which I refer, the project that I use that would be the Display, shows me in html file all the content that I have and does it in a random way, when it comes to the video it does not reproduce it.
Need autoplay youtube or alternative server videos
The web page that the display shows me is the following:
http://display-dev.cclcloud.co
user: test

Any opinion on how you should do this? html + js code pure?
I have tried several alternatives and it has not worked for me, need help, thanks

Compression method for file transfers in Android

I am developing an android app, where I require to upload image/video files really quick. What could be the best approach to do the same? I am using windows azure media server.
I researched and went through the entire documentation on Azure yet couldn't find the right solution for the below problems. So, I am elaborating the list of issues and scenarios for your understanding.
Just to add top-up on this issue. Following are the scenarios.
We are uploading the video through app. - Need help is optimising the upload transfer rate by using viable compression.
As of now it is taking approximately 1-2 mins to complete the upload.
Post uploading the Video we crop the video using FFmpeg codecs in our application on VM and then move the video file to Blob Storage.
Followed by that we use the Azure Media SDK to make an asset to encode the cropped video for adaptive streaming and we also create the Progressive Download file for downloading the video which is cropped and has stiched images with it.
Cropped and Unstichhed video is played in the app which is of max length 32 seconds.
This still shows the buffering on the 4G network which is questionable?
Downloadable file which has images stiched with it comes out with noise in the bottom of the video. (Attached image for ref.) Ref. Image. Look at the right botton pixelation.

How to play uploaded videos in an iframe on a Mac system

I have tried using iframe and also video tag and object tag to play the video. In some cases, it plays only the audio from the video, but video doesn't show up.
Secondly, the same video file plays well on a separate tab in the browser, but not within my iframe.
This issue is on all browsers on my Mac, but on a windows machine it plays well.
I finally found it. Apple has a good documentation of its own for this. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/quicktime/conceptual/qtscripting_html/QTScripting_HTML_Document/ScriptingHTML.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001525-2-GettingaBrowsertoLoadQuickTime
I simply had to use the embed tag properly as they have explained.

Web based media viewer (docs, images, videos) recommendations?

I'm looking for a general purpose media player for my website. I have lots of links to docs, images, videos, mp3s etc. When the user clicks on one of the links, I'd like some sort of viewer to pop up and show the contents, e.g. if its a mp3 it will play the mp3 etc.
I'm aware of the yahoo media player for audio (http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/), and things like yoxview (http://yoxigen.com/yoxview/Default.aspx) for images.
Has anybody had any experience with using any of these? Are there any general purpose viewers that will do all file formats, or is it a matter of integrating a few different ones like those above on my site?
You'll need separate viewers for audio, video, and images.
For anything other than those three, you're best off just serving the file directly the the client. Users would prefer to open a document in their word processor than play with it in some web based viewer.
If you really want to push the issue you may be able to push documents over to Google Docs and view them there the way GMail does, but I'm not sure if there is an external API to support that.
Found a few that offered what I was looking for:
