Play your video files in Google Docs

#“Play your video files in Google Docs”

Once you've uploaded your video to Google Docs, you can watch it with the Google Docs video player. Simply click the file from your Documents List and the player opens in a new page.

Files that you can play

Uploaded video files can be up to 1 GB. These are the most common video formats that you can upload and play:

  • WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec)
  • .MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files - (h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec)
  • .AVI (many cameras use this format - typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM)
  • .MPEGPS (MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio)
  • .WMV
  • .FLV (Adobe - FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio)

This is news to me. Trying it out now.

I assume I can't then embed the player in another page like a blog?

Will be interesting to see if it streams and buffers well.
