Time Lapse sequence overlooking Val Fex and Lej da Segl in the Engadin

Val Fex is a side valley from the upper Engadine in Switzerland, located at an altitude of circa 1800 to 2000 meters. On the one end lies the town of Sils im Engadin/Segl, and on the other side lie mountains including Piz Glüschaint and Il Chapütschin and the valley's glacier Vadret da Fex. There are two small towns in the valley, named Fex-Platta and Fex-Crasta. The valley is car-free, except for the cars of residents. There are two small guest houses / hotels in the valley. A popular attraction is visiting the valley by horse sleigh from Sils, both during summer and winter times.
Lake Sils (German Silsersee, Romansh: Lej da Segl) is a lake in the Upper Engadine valley, Grisons, Switzerland. It takes its name from the village of Sils im Engadin. The lake lies at an altitude of 1,797 metres above sea level, between Maloja Pass and Lake Silvaplana.
With a surface area of 4.1 km², Lake Sils is the largest lake of the Engadine. It is also the largest natural lake in the Alps lying above 1,000 metres. The lake was formed by a prehistoric landslide dam, similarly to Lake Silvaplana. The wooded Chastè peninsula extends into the lake at its north-eastern end. At the end of the peninsula there is a plaque to Friedrich Nietzsche with a passage from Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Near the peninsula is located the wooded island of Chaviolas, the largest in Lake Sils. In winter, the crosscountry slope crosses Lake Sils, with the section being part of the famous Engadin Skimarathon annually. Boat connections run from end of June to end of September, making Lake Sils one of the highest lake in Europe with public transport boat route. The largest villages on Lake Sils are Sils im Engadin and Maloja (part of Bregaglia), located respectively at the eastern and western ends of the lake. Other hamlets are Cadlägh, Isola and Plaun da Lej. (source: wikipedia.org)

Video on HTML5

Showing off video on various WEB-browser might be a really big hassle. Just like many others also myself went through lots of trouble to ensure my Time Lapse sequences can be viewed in the most popular browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, MS Internet Explorer and Opera. Not only that, I wanted the code for this web-page to conform to the HTML5 specifications. Easier said than done, but it's done. Thanks to other people who did the hard work like the folks at Miro who wrote the Miro-Video Converter that converts most video formats to any other video format. And also thanks to MARK PILGRIM who wrote the extensive paper Dive into HTML5 - read it and make it work for you!
Here is the quick summary to publish your videos without spending hours to get the job done: From one video you need the Miro Converter to create three (3) versions in the formats for .mp4, .ogv and .webm. Upload these files to your server, adapt and include the following code-snippet into your html5-code:



<video width="<# of pixels>" height="<# of pixels>" poster="/<path>/<poster-filename>.jpg" preload="metadata" controls>
	<source src="/<path>/<video-filename>.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
	<source src="/<path>/<video-filename>.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
	<source src="/<path>/<video-filename>.webm" type="video/webm" />
	Sorry, you need an HTML5 capable browser to watch this video!

Basically that's all! Ain't that a bitch.
