Dear FRIENDS,

I would like to put some short films (1 minute each) that I have on my computer in VMW format, to a page on my web site.
The question is: what have I to do ? It must be easy for the visitors to watch the films on their own PC and the risult must not be "heavy", a lot of visitors hasn't the broadband and it would take time to load the page.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Regards
Benedetto
I assume you mean WMV format...
If you upload the videos to a website and have then accessible by a download link, loading the page wouldn't be a problem.Yes,I mean: windows media video, right.
The question is: how can I put this download link in the html-code? Which tag must I use?
Will the page be too heavy ( many customer use the dial-up connection) ?
Thank you very much
Benedetto
There are several ways to do this, embed the video into the web page to be played right from the site, or allow visitors to download the file, or both. First determine what you want to do. For a simple download link you use the typical href tag like this

Code: [Select]<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/movie.wmv">Download Movie</a>

Or to embed the file

Code: [Select] <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://www.yoursite.com/movie.wmv">
<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://www.yoursite.com/movie.wmv" autostart="true" designtimesp='5311' loop="true">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

as you can see there are also multiple options when setting the play from site embedded file. As for will the page be to heavy for the dial up users, this is just a MATTER of how large of a file you have. A couple of things to consider when working with video on your site are:

How long of a video to publish?
What quality to publish it at?
What format to publish?

Each of these will directly affect the size of the file, and that will affect the "weight" of the page.

Hope this helps you out.Hi [emailprotected],

thank you very much, it helps me. I am just starting to work.

The films are not so long and the format can be the same (wmv), I think that is the easyest to load down for the users. Isn't it ?

Best regards

BenedettoThat should be fine.real easy just join youtube upload ur video and from there it has html for you and you can paste it to your site
