put this code where you want the video...

<embed src="URL of video" controller=true autoplay=true loop=false>

i recommend converting your videos to wmv cause the file size is smaller meaning it won't take forever and a day to download... if you have win xp, it comes with windows movie maker but if you don't you can search on google for a video converting software that will serve this purpose...

yeah... you just put the code in your entry... but make sure you click the "edit html" button before you insert the code =]

lets say you have a movie called movie.wma you have to upload it to another server so let's say you upload it to something called www.movieserver.com (http://www.movieserver.com) then your url would be "www.movieserver.com/movie.wma (http://www.movieserver.com/movie.wma)"

if you don't have a place to host your movies and you want to put one that you found on the internet, then you would put the url of the movie...meaning, the location

thanks, but the code still doesn't work. all it shows is a little box with a dot inside.

search the forum for free webhosts... you don't have to make a website there if you don't want to, just upload all of your movies to them...
