Firefox Quirks Mode

Firefox quirks mode…

I posted a a bit back just testing out a hover on a full div on all browsers, and i seen that firefox didn’t work, because i didn’t specify a doctype, therefore firefox doesn’t do as you ask. I didn’t want to go and google this, i wanted people to drop comments to get a bit of conversation going, and sure enough, a guy called Steven Weathers droped a comment telling me about quirks mode. Cheers mate.

HTML5

Checking out HTML audio.

This is just a quick video to explain a little bit about the html5 audio features and what they do, and how you can use them.

You dont really need these if you have the latest version of your browsers installed, because they use it by default, its really if you only want to embed a little piece of audio somewhere on your site you can use this, instead of using flash or the likes of windows media player embed code etc.. Have a watch, and im sorry if you dont understand me. Jeffery over at nettuts, explains this so much better and in clearer English lol.

Sony Vegas mp4/mov fix.

Sony Vegas MP4/MOV Fix

For people that use Sony Vegas 8 or less for editing, and you cant edit you mp4 or mov files heres the fix or way around it without having to convert it.

Do not update to Quicktime 7.6.4, stay with 7.6.2. For Sony Vegas users, it was causing problems with mp4 and mov files, i dont know why this is im just here to tell you not to do it.

Another problem people are having that i have seen, is that they are complaining when they drag a .mov clip from their camera into vegas, it shows the video but no audio, or the audio is just dead on the time line.

To fix this, just change the extension of .mov to .mp4 then drag it in., it should then work with audio. If by some chance it doesnt then heres what to do next.

Last choice would be to convert it with a program called MediaCoder, or you can get quicktime pro so you can export the mov or mp4 file. When you are exporting in quicktime, make sure you select MP4 – and Passthrough.

What this does is that it wraps the .mov file in .mp4 container, so vegas picks up the audio. If your video is then laggy, then you can google that or i will write up a tutorial on a fix for you.

If you have any problems at all in getting this fix to work, then let me know by dropping a comment.
