I want to get videos on my site like this site has done:

http://pstutorialsblog.com/free-video-tutorials-from-watch-and-learn-photoshop/

The videos on the above site just start playing without downloading and they are great. I would like to do the same thing on my site. I have
FrontPage 2000 and can get videos on the site but when people look at my site the videos have to download and that takes too long.
Thanks,Craig

You want them to PLAY the movie ON the site? Or download. Your question started to get confusing .. If you want them to play you have to embed the code.

Well as I said embed the code with a player. Upload a media player something to play the movie with .. then embed the code into the page you want it to be in.

Hi Pixel Pusher,

What you want to do is EMBED the video clip onto a page on your website. It is a pretty easy thing to do.

First, let's assume that the video is a Windows Media file (.wmv). Copy this file to your website via any FTP program.

Next, embed this code into your web page:

<object id=Player width=320 height=240 classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
<param name=URL value="YOUR VIDEO FILE NAME">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="uiMode" value=none>
<param name="enableContextMenu" value="false">
<param name="playCount" value="1">
</object>

and that's it! This video will now play on Internet Explorer when you go to your web page. There are lots of parameters that you can add including FF / RW functions, and in some circumstances, you may want to use the EMBED function instead (or in addition to) the OBJECT function, but the above should work ok.

Good luck!

I assume you're using a WYSIWYG (visual) HTML editor, if so you seem to have pasted the code in the 'visual' area.
Switch to the 'code' view and place the code in there.

Hi pixel_pusher
Please go here and chose the type of video, copy your video link and click generate, copy code to your site. Done

But isn't there a bug in IE7 and 6 for the object tags? (they will not render) I use an external third party player. It is found here
