Clipstream™ Video .js files
A Clipstream™ Video .js file is a separate javascript
document that contains the applet code necessary to play a Clipstream
formatted video file (.vcs). A web page can then embed a link calling
this JavaScript document.
What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is an extended set of instructions that a web browser can use
for greater functionality. A browser must enable JavaScript in order for
it to be used. JavaScript is enabled in around 95% of browsers.How do I get a Clipstream™ Video into a .js file?
By default, the Clipstream™ Video 3 Encoder will output both a .js
file, the video files (.vcs), and a web page that links to the .js file.
If you have previously disabled .js output you can re-enable it by checking
"Generate JS/HTML after encoding finished" box in the Encoder
main window. 
After encoding a .js file will be saved in the same output directory as you have selected for your video clips. It looks like this:
You can download a sample .js file here.
If you have raw applet code you can also use our .js include generator form to convert it.
Must I use JavaScript to show a Clipstream™ Video clip?
No. You can embed a raw applet in a page (this was the previous method in
earlier versions of Clipstream™ Video). However, Clipstream™ Video
applets embedded directly into a page will not have single click functionality
in Internet Explorer. What if someone has JavaScript disabled?
You can use a noscript tag that will display whatever is within the tags
to a browser that does not have JavaScript enabled.Ex.
<noscript>Please enable Javascript to view
the video</noscript>
-or- You can put the raw applet code within the noscript tags.
