Topic: how to embed video files on your website? (Page 1 of 1)

Does anyone know how to embed video files into a website, with quicktime, or some other way.

also, are there certain requirements your server needs?

thanks in advance

google->embed+html+tag

The third link should have the information you're looking for.

I'd just post it here but I'm a bit busy ATM.

Depends on which types (wm, rm, qt).

What do you have?

~ Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need, roads! ~

also to mention, that the latest version of Flash plays videos.
and most people do have the flash plug-in.

I was trying to do the same thing a while back... here is some code I found that worked perfectly.
just change the name of the VIDFILE to whatever your filename is and it should work fine.



<p align="center">
<object
width="320"
height="260"
classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"
hspace="0"
border="1">
<param
name="Filename" value="VIDFILE" />
<param
name="AutoStart"
value="True" />
<param
name="ShowControls"
value="False" />
<param
name="ShowStatusBar"
value="True" />
<param
name="ShowDiplay"
value="False" />
<param
name="AutoRewind"
value="True" />
<embed
width="320"
height="260"
hspace="320"
filename=
"VIDFILE"
autostart="True"
showcontrols="True"
showstatusbar="True"
showdiplay="True"
autorewind="True"
border="1"
src=
"VIDFILE"></embed> </object>
</p>

Play around with the sizing and what not to suit your needs.

I ended up doing some work with 2 hard-core Mac video guys, and I went back and forth on this one. They, of course, loved Quicktime and all things Quicktime, and shunned nearly everything else. I coded brilliant little websites to hold these big fast .mov files, and then the corporate types complained, they didn't have that version (new, upgrade now, only $29.95!) of Quicktime, and no permissions to update their machines. I ended up doing Flash Video .flv files and it worked for nearly everybody. The plus is it really does work for nearly everyone, the downside is that you need either the Pro version of Flash 2004, or you needed Sorenson Squeeze to compress the video to .flv...

Ah well, I bought Sorenson, and while it sucked bigtime for re-sizing video, it made clean FLV files, which I could then import into flash for streaming. You can see what I came up with at http://www.savantigroup.com/ - just click the "demoreel" button. The only control I ever implemented was the "mute" button, because the music got on my nerves and interupted my Bjork CD, hrmph. I'll dig out the code used, I had to get help myself to get it to work the first time.

Your pal, -doc-

Here is an example of what I have used in the past
*I am using this under line for spaces ---> _*

<embed_name="RAOCXplayer"_src="URL"_type="application/x-mplayer2"_ShowStatusBar="0"_Width="320"_height="240"_DisplaySize="0" AutoStart="true"_pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/">

Thanks Doc for that info, way cool! Flv is pretty sweet.

I haven't been in the forum for quite some time (shame) - I'll need to come by more often.

Cheers,
Rotren

fyi, there is no such element "embed": http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/elements.html

hey, where should I enter my file :

http://mapage.noos.fr/trindc/lfln.flv

what is "filename" and "vidfile"

can you give me an example with my link above into your code?

thank you in advance

Is there a way to have multiple videos play in the same player with a dropdown list for the user to select the video they wish to view?

yes there is.
if you need more help on this, you best open a new thread providing information on what player you want to use, what that list should look like and what video format you have.

trying to post some weird videos on my site, but the above embeds only seem to work for .wmv ... i need params for .flv media

thanks

This forum is amazingly silent. What's up?

had to reinstall XPPro. Now the code above doesn't work. What am I missing? Installed adobe flash/shockwave...

I can suggest Video To Flash Converter PRO
http://www.geovid.com/Video_to_Flash_Converter_Pro/

This tool is able to convert video clips (avi, wmv, mov etc.) to flash
& then generate HTML code for flash for uploading to web page.

If you care about Windows and Mac OS, anyways.

I recently purchased Video Encoder for Adobe Flash and like it's ease of use in getting a variety of video formats on a page in either swf or flv formats.

. . . : : . . Innervating Your Eyes & Mind : . . .

$45? Yikes.

ffmpeg is free and can convert to and from FLV and almost any other relevant video or audio format about this easily:

ffmpeg -i file1.mpeg file2.flv

Plenty of free GUI frontends available, too - even for you crazy win32ers.
