Providing videos

[specter]

Hi everyone,

I would install a short video that my visitors can watch,but I don't know how to implement such a feature on my web site.
Anyone could advice/help me please?

Thanks in advance.
Any reply will be appreciated

You need to upload the video file to the server. Then if you want them to view the video in your web-page you use an <object> tag along with an <embed> tag.

You need both because 1 works for IE and the other works for eveyone else.

Here is a w3 help page on using these tags.

If you have any more questions post or sticky me and I will help ya out.

Thank you for your reply.
I gave a look at the link you provided me but not clear what parameters have I to use.
What if I simply upload the video file on the server and then I create an hyperlink to it?

you can direct link to the file too.

it just won't be "embedded" in the web page.

the file will be opened by whatever the end user's default viewer is for the video format you have chosen.

If you don't mind it being available at other places than your site, you could also upload it to YouTube and copy-n-paste their provided code.
