Delivering Your Video from a Web Page
After you have loaded and registered your video content in the MDS, the next step
is to incorporate the video into the application that will deliver the video to the
client. This section describes how to deliver video from a sample Web page using
the Oracle Video Web Plug-in.
Note:
The vsmkosf utility generates an OSF file (yourvideo.osf)
and a tag file (yourvideo.mpi) in the Oracle Media Data Store, but
does not overwrite your source AVI file (yourvideo.avi).
Note:
The sample Web page is a simple application for selecting
and playing video. Building sophisticated interfaces for applications
that deliver video is beyond the scope of this Quick Start. Refer to
the Oracle Video Client Developer’s Guide for more information on
tools that you can use to develop interactive video applications.
