Learning about Video with Video tag - NLL468

This turned out to be a study of relative paths

The HTML <video> Element displays

HTML and CSS Beginner Tutorial 5

This note is added on Thu 10/25/18 12:01 MDT when I discovered that video cannot be played from these links. The reason is that video source is on my local disk, and the internet link cannot access it. I shall provide a script here that will access it on the internet, but the same script cannot access my local video source.

Link does not work here!    I actually access someone else's website, when my link is incorrect.

The actual source is here: http://www.benedek.net/HTML_Prac/Misc/Bill_x0.mp4, but the mp4 format is NOT handled by this server! I can download the mp4 script from the website, but those who do not have direct permission for accessing the website cannot.

Somewhere on the internet I saw a list of file formats which iPage server can handle.

See note in bottom of the page!

Next: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\!Exer_Lemay's_Examples\Misc\Bill_x0.mp4 - 1st
Next:Bill_x0A in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\!Exer_Lemay's_Examples\Bill_x0A.mp4 - 2nd

Next: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\Bill_x1.mp4 - 3rd
Next: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\Bill_x2.mp4 - 4th
Next: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bill_x3.mp4 - 5th
Next: C:\Bill_x4.mp4 - 6th
Next: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\!Exer_Lemay's_Examples\Misc\Bill_x0.mp4 - 7st - ABSOLUTE

It appears that relative path does not work outside www folder when the program is associated with Ampps server.

When I run this html file without the AMPPS server opened, then I see all 7 videos active.

When I run this html file with the AMPPS server loaded and opened, the I see only 1st, 2nd and third videos.

Even though the videos don't show up, the space is provided for them.
