    How to add youtube video for viewing on mobile devices (******, ipad, blackberry...)

    Hi there,
    I have uploaded youtube videos to each project at http://www.dahliastreetfilms.com/projects.html (http://www.dahliastreetfilms.com/blindturn.html) and am able to view them on pcs but nothing shows up (not even a black screen or any sign that there might be a video embeded in the page) when I try to view the videos on an ****** or ipad. Is there a way to add code to the youtube video to make it viewable for mobile devices or what would be the best way to make it accessible to most devices?

    Thank you!

    It is not an issue with formatting the video files ... it is a matter of each particular device's ability to execute (play) the files due to that particular device's default player or capabilities.

    You can learn more about this by researching the YouTube Developer and Help resources.

    * Personally, I would suggest you consider converting your video into Flash, since this is a more universal format now that Android and iPh one all have evolved to display Flash fully, and to realize that you may need to additionally consider designing your site in a more device-friendly manner (more similar to a MOBI format) using text links to video files to open in the same browser window with a prominent link to return to the previous page instead of using dynamic links, new Tabs, etc.
