Flame1622 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 How would I put a video on my website from my computer instead of uploading it to Youtube and embedding it? I don't want to download Adobe Flash professional or anything like that. What would be a good HD video website if I can't do it from my computer?

Synook Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 You could convert it to FLV (e.g. using a FLV converter) and embed it (using <option>). You could also just directly embed it as it is, but don't expect maximum compatibility that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzhax Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I was trying to do something similar, I used the windows media player object and added the video as a playlist. Converting the video to a streaming format will make the video load faster. If I remember correctly its .avi (that could be wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenshade Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Just upload the file to your server where ever you wish to put it. You can then use a variety of media embed styles for instance Windows, Real, etc. <!-- begin embedded WindowsMedia file... --> <table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="left"> <tr><td> <OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="285" classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95' codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701' standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' type='application/x-oleobject'> <param name='fileName' value="http://servername/path/to/media.file"> <param name='animationatStart' value='true'> <param name='transparentatStart' value='true'> <param name='autoStart' value="true"> <param name='showControls' value="true"> <param name='loop' value="true"> <EMBED type='application/x-mplayer2' pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/' id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1' bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1' showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width="320" height="285" src="http://servername/path/to/media.file" autostart="true" designtimesp='5311' loop="true"> </EMBED> </OBJECT> </td></tr> <!-- ...end embedded WindowsMedia file --> <!-- begin link to launch external media player... --> <tr><td align='center'> <a href="http://servername/path/to/media.file" style='font-size: 85%;' target='_blank'>Launch in external player</a> <!-- ...end link to launch external media player... --> </td></tr> </table> .avi is a hefty file type which doesn't scale very well from small to large, but it's not a bad file type and it'll serve you well with compatability, however, it is again hefty. You'll use up a heck of a lot of bandwidth, so I suggest converting. This can be done in a program called Avid media Composer or something similar, I recommend at the minimum WMA for streaming. ...
