Hi I have a website with a video on home page but when i go to my website using an iphone video can not be seen, obviously cause its a flash video any way I can upload a video that is compatible with an iphone?
Hi,
You have to use the HTML5 video module, it's a nice tool.
But for an optimal usage, You have to pimp it a little (poster support + Flash with H.264 player fall-down for older browsers)

Hi Thanks for your replies I tried that the other day my video was 11mb abut 2 mins long and I kept getting error is the size too big?
I've had a really nice experience with the Flowplayer, and I do believe there's a VideoJS HTML5 video player for C5, which plays in mobile devices wherever possible and degrades to Flash if HTML5 is not available.

I too have had good luck with Flowplayer, BUT it requires some tweaking to make work correctly. Here's an official plugin for it that plays videos on iPhones/iPads:

(I'd trust this more than the one @aghouseh linked to because it's officially supported by the flowplayer people).
Note that there's also a free addon in the c5 marketplace for a flowplayer video that you could use as a starting point:

But it's going to require at least a small amount of programming knowledge or experimentation to get working (you'll probably need to update the flowplayer component in that free addon because it looks kind of old, and then you'll need to include the ipad plugin I linked to and get that working).
If you're not a programmer at all and don't have the inclination to customize things yourself, I think unfortunately there's not much you can do in this regard.

Im not a programmer all this code is too confusing, all I really wanted is a youtube clip or Vimeo clip to play on the website including playing on Iphone.
Your best bet is going to probably be to add a HTML block and paste in the Vimeo or YouTube embed code.
