What is the best way to handle audio and video on a website. I have some mp3 I want my users to listen to and also a video for them to watch. Should I upload the videos to YouTube? and the mp3 so another site. Or should everything reside on my server and make a call to it?
There are video hosting sites other than YouTube such as Vimeo. The players available for embedding video and audio on your own site are pretty good, and you can have fallbacks for older browsers that don’t support the newer techniques. There are also free video and audio converters that create the various file formats needed for these media to play on all devices.
