Investigate what can be done with embedding in Commons #24

Closed baskaufs closed 3 years ago

baskaufs commented 3 years ago

If we upload the videos to Commons, can we link to a particular point in the video, etc.?

Here is a test:

https://heardlibrary.github.io/twine-for-wikicite/commons_test.html

The image seems to be fine. The videos don't render at the size specified, even though on the original site they are lager. Is this a limit of Twine? Also, they seem to only use .ogv and .webm formats, which might be required open formats vs. mpg/wav which I think are proprietary. We should maybe look into their video upload requirements. Also, the videos are a bit small, even on their original web pages. Is there a size limit (MB or pixels) that we should be worrying about?

@CliffordAnderson was going to investigate exporting in the WebM format

In the previous link, it states that there is a 4 GB limit to single video files.
