+====== Convert OGV to HTML5 compatible MP4 ======
+The program //recordmydesktop// saves the videos in OGV format. To be able to embed this in a web page with the HTML5 video element it needs to be either in OGV or MP4. And not every browser support every format (event if specified in the [[http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html5_video.asp | specs]]). So it is best to have both formats available in the web page.
+<sxh html>
+<video width="1024" height="656" controls >
+	<source src="videos/first-steps.mp4" type="video/mp4">
+  	<source src="videos/first-steps.ogv" type="video/ogg">
+	Your browser does not support the video tag. You can download the <a href="videos/first-steps.mp4">video</a> for offline viewing.
+</video>
+</sxh>
+To get an MP4 file from the OGV file you can use mplayer/mencoder for it.
