Transfer to HTML code

Post by Kentertainment »

I'd like to be able to post some movies on my website and such, kinda like when you watch movie trailers how you can watch it on the site rather then having Windows Media Player pop up. To do this I have to transfer the .mpeg file into an HTML code...does anyone know how to do this?

If you are just trying to embed a video into a webpage, so that it is streaming rather than someone having to download, find your way to the following webpage and follow the instructions. This makes it easy and simple.

Is there a certain server I need to use? Whenever I put the links up that I have it won't play the video.

The movies need to be on your own server. It works great for me.

Yes, and then you use a code something like this.
----------------------------------------------------
<EMBED SRC="mymovie.mov" WIDTH=240 HEIGHT = 196 AUTOPLAY=true CONTROLLER=true LOOP=false PLUGINSPAGE=http://www.apple.com/quicktime/">
----------------------------------------------------
you would substitute mymovie.mov with whatever your file name is and the code would be a little different if you had a Windows media file.

You would have to know also, what the width and height of your video is as well. to make sure that it displays and fits properly.
