Adding sounds & videos to my website
      #393359 - Fri May 02 2008 07:11 PM

Hi,

I have pretty good knowledge of HTML and looking to add sound & video clips to my website.

Can anyone help with the HTML coding and just how I go about adding video clips so they can be played within a page on my site - with play/stop controls if possible.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

The first question is what format to use - e.g. wmv, quicktime etc.

If you use wmv or avi then you stop mac users seeing it. using quicktime (mov or qt) stops people using it who havent installed the quicktime player.

To avoid issues like that, I use SwishVideo to convert the video into flash format and add player controls at the same time. As flash is one of the most widely supported file formats on the web then it means virtually anyone can see the video.

For an even easier way to do this just upload it to youtube and they will give you an embed code, you just paste this where you want on your webpage and job done, you are limited to about 10 mins max of continuous play but it will save on your bandwidth as video files will really eat it up.

Cheers

Gone with the youtube way, looks good. Thanks for that!

Any ideas about adding MP3's or how I can convert them and add em?
