Firstly, you need to convert your video file into Matroska video (MKV) which includes the subtitle file. Download MKVToolnix (portable or installer) and run mmg.exe (mkvmerge GUI). Drop your video file onto the mkvmerge window, it will show the video and audio streams. If you have any other subtitle files untick them. How to edit image file metadata. To edit the metadata on image files, do the following: Right-click the file and select Properties.; In the image properties, click on the Details tab.

by Christopher Heng, thesitewizard.comThis guide deals with how you can insert a video into your web pages using HTML, or to be specific, using thefacilities provided by HTML5.
Preamble: Other Alternatives to Writing Your Own Code
Before we delve into the HTML, you should be aware that there are other ways you can add a video to your site.
Using a Video Sharing Site
Instead of hosting the video file directly onyour website, you can alsoupload it to a video sharingsite like YouTube, get the embed code (the HTML code) for that video, and insert it into your web page. If this is whatyou actually want, I have numerous tutorialson doing it using various web editors, includingExpression Web,BlueGriffon,Dreamweaver and others.The advantage of doing things this way is that you don't have to foot the bill for the bandwidth for that video. Sincevideos consume a lotof your website's data traffic allotment, it is a significant factor in its favour ('favor' if you usea different variantof English).The disadvantage is that the video is now hosted on another platform that is mostly outside your control.Depending on which sharing site you use, they may put advertisements on the video, impose limitations onit (eg, on its length or file size), and so on. And of course, the video is also then available on another site,rather than being only on yours. Whether these disadvantages are significant depends on yourvideo and your purpose for it.Using a Third-Party Video Player Script
Another alternative to writing your own HTML is to use one of the manyfree video playerscripts available on the Internet.The advantage of using these third party scripts is that some of them can play a video using Flash should yourvisitor use an old browser that does not have the built-in HTML5 video-playing capability. This includesInternet Explorer 8 and earlier. That said, I don't think there are many people still using such old browsers,but you will have to check your own site statistics to be sure, since your demographics may be different from mine.And remember that Adobe will stop issuing new versions of Flash by the end of 2020, so the benefit may not beas great as you think.The disadvantage is that most of these scripts are actually JavaScript-driven. This means that if you visitor has disabledJavaScript in his/her browser, your video may not play at all.
If the above alternatives do not suit your needs, read on.
HTML5 Required
Note that this tutorial deals with the HTML5 code for inserting a video. This meansthat your page has to be in HTML5. If it is in some other version, like XHTML 1.0 or HTML 4.01, change theDOCTYPE or DTDto '
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
' and adjust the code on the rest of the page, if necessary, to conform tothe HTML5 specifications. One easy way to speed up the process of locating the HTML that needs to be modified is tovalidate the HTML. That is,run your page through one of freeHTML validators around. It will choke on the HTML features that are no longer supported, and point them out to you.This saves time since you don't have to go through the page line-by-line.And, as you have probably already surmised from the paragraph above, I will also assume that you know some HTML,or at the very least, know how to insert such code into your web page without messing up the rest of the page. Ifthis poses a problem, you may prefer to use one of thealternativemethods mentioned earlier.
The <video> Tag
The code for inserting a video is:
<video src='demo.webm' poster='initial_static_picture.jpg' width='480' controls>
</video>
</video>
The video file in the example above is 'demo.webm' located in the same directory as the web page loading it.This particular video is in the WebM format. (I will discuss video formats in greater detail later in this article.)The optional
poster
attribute is used to display an initial image on the video player screen. Thewidth
attribute, also optional, specifies the width of the video player in pixels. There is also aheight
attribute for those who want to include that too. The controls
attributeinserts buttons onto the player, allowing your visitor to pause, resume playback, change the volume, etc. The exact controlsit inserts into the player varies from browser to browser. Like width
, poster
and height
,it is optional.Other possibly useful attributes include the following:
loop
: causes the browser to seek back to the beginning of the video when the it reaches the end.muted
: mute the video by default.autoplay
: start playing the video immediately without waiting for your visitor to initiate it.It is useful if you want to irritateyour visitors and drive them away, or if your site is a video sharing site like YouTube, where the only reasonpeople are at any page is to view the video there.preload
: this attribute hints to the browser (that is, the latter is not required to follow it)how much of the video it is to load in advance, prior to user-interaction. Allowed values includenone
(don't preload anything),metadata
(preload meta data only), andauto
(the browser is freeto do as it pleases, even preloading the entire video). The default value varies from browser to browser.
You can also insert content between the opening
<video>
and closing </video>
tags.It will only be displayed in older browsers, that is, those that do not support the <video>
tag. For example,the following issues an error message in such browsers.Meta Movie Add Metadata To Your Videos 2 4 3d
<video src='demo.webm'>
Sorry, your browser does not support this video player.
</video>
Sorry, your browser does not support this video player.
</video>
You can, of course, write whatever you want. You can even insert ascript to load yourvideo using Flash or Silverlight in that space, if you are so inclined.
How to Use Alternative Video Formats
My demo for the HTML5 video tag uses thecode below.
<video controls width='720'>
<source src='video/demo.mp4' type='video/mp4'>
<source src='video/demo.webm' type='video/webm'>
<div>
Sorry, your browser does not support the <video> tag used in this demo.
</div>
</video>
<source src='video/demo.mp4' type='video/mp4'>
<source src='video/demo.webm' type='video/webm'>
<div>
Sorry, your browser does not support the <video> tag used in this demo.
</div>
</video>
As you can see, it provides two alternative video formats, MP4 and WebM. As such, the URLs pointing to the videofiles are now written separately in their own
<source>
tags instead of being specified in thesrc
attribute of <video>
. The <source>
tagallows you to specify different alternative formats so that web browsers that don't support one format can choose another.Supported Video Formats
- The MP4 format, containing video encoded in H.264, is supported out-of-the-box by Internet Explorer 9 and above, andcurrent versions (and probably many of the older ones too) of Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari.If you don't mind using something that is patent-encumbered, this is probably the most cross-compatible video format at the moment.
- The WebM format, containing video encoded using VP8, is supported out-of-the-box by Firefox, Chrome, Opera (and possiblythe other Chromium-derived browsers) and later versions of Android. As you may already know, this format is licensed toeveryone for free, and so it is generally preferred if only the web browser vendors can get their act together.It is possible to install a plugin in IE 9 and above, as well as Safari, to support WebM playback, however since itis not part of the default installation, you can't rely on visitors having it.As for Edge, I understand that Microsoft intends to add support for WebM, or perhaps has already done so.(Sorry, I don't currently use Windows 10, which is needed for Edge, and I can't be bothered to download avirtual machine just totest it for this tutorial.)
- There is also the older Ogg format, with even poorer browser support than WebM. If you want to use thisformat, the
type
attribute on<source>
is 'video/ogg
'.Note that Ogg is supposed to be inferior to WebM in terms of its compression to quality ratio, so if your intention isto only use freely-licensed formats, you should probably use WebM instead.

This article presents 8 different types of tools you can use to create a documentation of your existing databases.
In short, they are:
Let's have a closer look:
1. Word processors
When you want to create a printable document, word processors (like MS Word or LibreOffice Writer) sound like an obvious choice.
Benefits
- You are most likely already using it
- Good formatting, branding and printing capabilities
Disadvantages
- It's a nightmare to prepare
- It's an even worse nightmare to maintain
2. Spreadsheets
A slightly better choice for a tool would be a spreadsheet (like MS Excel or LibreOffice Calc). It makes navigating, searching and filtering data more convenient. It also feels more natural since documentation usually has tabular structure.
Benefits
- You are most likely already using it
- Easy to search and filter metadata
Disadvantages
- Poor printing capabilities
- It's difficult to prepare
- It's a nightmare to maintain

3. Database development and management tools
Standard database consoles like SQL Server Management Studio (SQL Server), Oracle SQL Developer (Oracle) or MySQL Workbench (MySQL) support some basic database schema and model documentation and generation.
Those features might include:
- Commenting data elements (tables, columns, views etc.)
- Generating HTML or PDF documentation
- Reverse engineering database schema to ER Diagrams
Benefits
- Most of them are free or shipped with the database engine
- DBAs, developers and architects already use database management tools
Disadvantages
- No global documentation for both - objects descriptions and diagrams
- Little or no editing and authoring capabilities (only basic annotation features)
- No repository for diagrams
- No ability to generate integrated documentation consisting of diagrams and detailed data dictionary
Tool examples
- SQL Server: SQL Server Management Studio
- Oracle: Oracle SQL Developer
- MySQL: MySQL Workbench
Database documentation generated with Oracle SQL Developer
Diagram generated with SQL Server Management Studio
Diagram generated with MySQL Workbench
4. Documentation generators (read only)
There is a number of dedicated tools whose sole purpose is to generate documentation from your database schema. This category of tools doesn't have any editing capabilities and can only generate a documentation from metadata extracted from the database.
Benefits
Meta Movie Add Metadata To Your Videos 2 4 3 0
- Easy to use
- Better formatting than standard database tools
Disadvantages
- No editing capabilities, separate tool is required for this (e.g. database management tool)
- Annotating capabilities are limited by database platform (you can't provide rich text descriptions or describe elements if DBMS doesn't support that)
Tool examples
- dbForge Documenter for SQL Server
- Elasoft SqlSpec
- Spectral Core Documenter
Documentation generated with dbForge Documenter for SQL Server
5. Documentation tools (read/write)
There is a number of tools that enable you to do both functions of documenting:
![Metamovie Add Metadata To Your Videos 2 4 3 Metamovie Add Metadata To Your Videos 2 4 3](https://iflicks.app/img/screenshots/screenshot-chapters.png)
- describe tables and columns (data dictionary), or other database objects and
- generate convenient documents for sharing.
This category is different from the previous in editing capabilities which is a huge difference as providing the descriptions is a key documentation activity. This is where value added is being created. Document generation just makes it easier to access and share, while providing descriptions of data structures gets the knowledge out of the peoples heads and saves it for later reference.
Those tools mostly store metadata (descriptions) in the database itself - in Extended Properties in the case of SQL Server or comments in the case of MySQL and Oracle.
Benefits
- Ability to describe/annotate data elements (tables, columns etc)
Disadvantages
- Metadata scope limited by database capabilities (you can't add more information than the engine enables)
Tool examples
- Redgate SQL Doc
- ApexSQL Doc
- Elasoft SqlSpec
Redgate SQL Doc description editor and documentation generator
6. Advanced documentation tools (read/write + metadata + authoring)
There are tools that go beyond extended property/comment editors and documentation generators - let's call them metadata repositories. Those tools keep data in a separate repository which enables them to gather and store much more metadata and makes them independent on the database platform. They provide more functionalities: advanced authoring, more metadata, database diagrams.
Benefits
- Global repository
- Rich metadata
- Better authoring capabilities
- Support for multiple database engines
Disadvantages
- Slightly more difficult to set up and learn
Tool examples
Documentation generated with Dataedo (free trial)
7. Data Modeling tools
There is a large category of tools which are designed specifically for logical and physical engine-independent data modeling. They provide forward and reverse engineering functionalities. They are good for creating ER Diagrams, but much less for describing data elements (creating Data Dictionaries). Even worse at the maintenance of the documentation.
Benefits
- Global repository
- Rich metadata
- Better authoring capabilities
- Support more than one
- Support for multiple database engines
Meta Movie Add Metadata To Your Videos 2 4 3rd
Disadvantages
- Very complicated and overloaded with features
- Designed for forward engineering purposes, not really ideal for reverse engineering
- Mostly non-convenient column descriptions editing (Data Dictionary)
- Clunky default export documents
- Exporting sometimes requires programming/customizations
Tool examples
- Erwin
- SAP PowerDesigner
- Idera ER/Studio Data Architect
8. Diagramming tools
If you just want to create database diagrams (it's not a full documentation of the database) you can use generic diagramming tool.
Benefits
- Good diagramming and visual capabilities
Disadvantages
- No support for Data Dictionary (a description of each data element)
- Most of these tools don't support connections to database
- Even if they support connection to a database, it is not easy to maintain such models when database schema changes
- No support for other database elements - stored procedures, functions, triggers etc.
Tool examples
- MS Visio
- Gliffy (online)
- LucidChart (online)
Conclusion
I hope this is a convenient overview of the tools available if you want to document your existing databases.
