Hey all..   I'm sure you experienced webpeople will laugh at this..   But how do you take a normal video, either wmv or mpg and make it be able to stream on the net?

I ask this because I can't figure it out.   LOL      Let's say that I shoot a 30 sec video that I want to put on my site and host..   I want to be able to stream it to my users..   What do I need to do?     Thanks!

Ken.

I use this site for some of my vid stuff, see if it gives you what you need.

This works a treat for me, but I am wondering if there is any code I can add to make the video play at 200% zoom by default :)

<table cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>       <object width="640" height="570" id="mediaPlayer" 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.never-enough.co.uk/***/*****/***.wmv" />

To make your own "Youtube" Like player try this
http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player

If you want to embed Windows media use this code:

<center>
<OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="728" height="728"
clarseid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95'

<param name='fileName' value="http://yoursite.com/video.wmp">
       <param name="rate" value="1">

Change "http://yoursite.com/video.wmp" to where the video file is located.  You can also adjust the width and height of the player

This player will play in both IE and FF

:up:


Hope this helps

@ Chris29

Look at the code you posted you will see:

width ="640" height ="570"

Change those values till you get it the size you want it :up:

Thanks Lord Anubis :) I have switched to the code you have posted - it seems a bit more simple than mine. What I was after was a 'stretch to fit' option - I don't think I made that clear in my initial post. I got it sorted in the Firefox code by adding stretchtofit="1"... It took an hour to find it, but in the end Google did come up with the goods - So, thanks G6 too 8)
