how would i get people to be able to play videos in my website other than havin to download them. live it just starts playin in the browser. And can i set the height + width???????

I'm not sure. It might be.. a CSS thing or a positioning thing, I don't know. What are you trying to do exactly?

<embed src="(your movie name)" type="application/x-mplayer2" autostart="0" enabled="1" showstatusbar="0" showdisplay="0" showcontrols="1" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,0,0,0" width="xxx" height="xxx"></embed>

Replace the "xxx" values to something else to define your width and height. But I suggest you don't put in width/height values to the video, or else it might look messed up.

Also, if you want it to IMMEDIATELY start playing on the browser, change the autostart value to 1.

Is there a way to hide the box? Like just make it look like the music is playing but no way to know where it is coming from?

Let's say you downloaded a clip or something from Kazaa, is there a way to host it like you do with pictures?

Yes, just put hidden="true" in the embed tag.

Where would you be able to upload the video or movie? Jezza where did you upload your video? I'm having the same dilema right now... Oh and protoman you leave the rest, the same besides where you got the video from?

Just upload the video like you upload anything else.

(Your post is kinda confusing, so I'm not sure what you want to do.)

Oh sorry, I meant like where do i upload it, is there a place i could upload it, because I usually upload my pictures at greatestjournal.com but i don't think you can upload videos there... if you have more questions on what i mean my aim s/n is btrfy03

well thankz protoman but i mean like they can stop+start the show when they want to. is the possible???


and with ur uploadin prob Wysiawyg, if ur files not too big i could upload it somewhere, but if it is ova 50mb i recommend usin Quick fox (http://quickfox.org/hosting)

u get 150 mb space
unlimeted bandwith
php,mysql and more

ALL FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!

but u might need them to activate some file types

only problem with the server is its a browser upload so its slow. :)

You already have control over stop and start in my HTML code.

i have videos on my site and i still found this thread a bit confusing... so, sorry if i am stepping on someone's toes...

this is the code that i use on my site and my vids work FINE...

<embed src="joshandmatt.wmv" controller=true autoplay=true loop=false>

it's as simple as that...

just upload the movie that you want to play to your server/host/whatever you call it... if you don't want a controller (volume, play, stop, etc.) then put false, if you don't want the video to automatically play, then put false.

Also, convert your movies to wmv. Avi and Mpg are just way to big to display on a webpage unles they are very short... This can be done with Windows Movie Maker and is so EASY!

I hope this helped...

ok avi too big. i understand. were can i get windows movie maker???

if you have windows XP, you should already have it... I am not sure which other versions of Windows already come with it... but, you could go to google and do a search for "download windows movie maker" or something like that... Or maybe another movie editting program... all you really need is a conversion tool... try searching for that.

ok ive got windows 98 thats y i dont have it >:(

http://download.com.com/3000-2140-10279127.html?tag=lst-0-3

try that... if the link has expired by the time you get to it, go to www.download.com (http://www.download.com) and type in convert avi to wmv and the prog that i am linking to up there was the 3rd one down... i hope that helps you!

that would be great if you could upload them somewhere, i tried quick fox but i didn't know where to upload them... oh their really short just like 8 or 9 seconds long and their .mov files

why don't you upload them to your server... if you don't have enough space, then move to one like www.web1000.com (http://www.web1000.com) but that's a whole nother thread!!!
