title: Is there a compatible way to serve videos to mobile devices?
body: <p>I was wondering how to embed a video on a webpage to have it compatible with mobile devices. I am kinda new to the whole mobileweb. So I set up some testing pages and tried them out with some devices of my friends. Flash is obviously not the way to go. Embed tag neither. html5 video tag neither. I also tried to nest them for fallback compatibility but just didn't get it right.</p>
  
  <p>So I had a look at youtube. They are using rtsp streams and they just let the device handle the rtsp:// links. This seemed to be working everywhere, and I think they do it for a reason. So I had a look at rtsp protocol the possibilities to serve such a stream. 
  Turned out its really simple and doesn't really differ much from the http protocol. There is e.g. ffserver out there for that.</p>
  
  <p>But every free/os implementation seems to be testing/buggy ...</p>
  
  <p>So I ask you guys. I cant be the first stumbling across this problem.</p>
  
  <p>Isn't there a nice tested way to embed videos with nice compatibility for mobile devices? preferably served from a http source!</p>
