I need to embed a video on my site..what do I need?

[BVF]

Since all of the tube sites wimp out on the bandwidth when the video meets my traffic, I'm going to have to embed the video myself...

What software or code do I need to make a video and embed it into a media player type thingy on my own server?

Thanks in advance for your help.

what format are you going for? flash ? wmv? you just want a simple embed on YOUR site?

BVF, listen to Smokey it's the simplest way.

if you want something with some flair, heres another way ..

what this will allow you to do is embed a movie with a clickable banner inside it , it will also allow others to hotlink your video with your ad on the video. Additionally u can thwart direct hotlinking of the video.

heres what you do ..

save the following as p1.wvx

<ASX version = "3.0" bannerbar="fixed">
 <ABSTRACT>Bad Hotdog</ABSTRACT>
   <TITLE>bad bad hotdog</TITLE>
  <AUTHOR>Smokey The Bear</AUTHOR>
<Entry>
<Banner href="http://abanner.com/banner.gif">
<MoreInfo href = "http://bannerlink.com" />
<Abstract>Click Here</Abstract>
<Ref href = "http://video.com/p2.wvx" />
   </Entry>

</ASX>

save the following as p2.wvx

<ASX version = "3.0" bannerbar="fixed">
 <ABSTRACT>Bad Hotdog</ABSTRACT>
   <TITLE>bad bad hotdog</TITLE>
  <AUTHOR>Smokey The Bear</AUTHOR>
<Entry>
<Banner href="http://abanner.com/banner.gif">
<MoreInfo href = "http://bannerlink.com" />
<Abstract>Click Here</Abstract>
<Ref href = "http://video.com/video.wmv" />

the real video url is located in p2.wvx

the part you embed on your site and let people hotlink is p1.wvx

this allows you to change the url of the video anytime you want without having to change the html on your pages or other peoples pages that hotlink the video. This will thwart users who try and directly access the video.

all you do is rename the real video url and change the p2.wvx to reflect the changes.


to embed the p1.wvx use the following html code

<object id="VIDEO" data="http://yoursite.com/p1.wvx" type="video/x-ms" width="800" height="600">
<param name="src" value="http://yoursite.com/p1.wvx" width="800" height="600">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="none">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">
<PARAM name="id" value="VIDEO">
<PARAM NAME="stretchToFit" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="Repeat" value="1">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="0">
<param name="autoStart" value="true"></object>

the banner for the video should be 32px high and however wide u want

p.s. you can do the same thing with pictures , mp3's or flash

[BVF]

thanks...i bookmarked this and I'll see what I can do. I'm ignorant when it comes to code...all I do is cut and paste

Smokey,

as long as you are looking here:

Do you have or know of a script to do this:

Keep a web page as usual until a webmaster defined time to add a live stream.

So. . .The site looks normal and does not display a dead feed or any indication of a cam at all.

Until.

The girl presses a broadcast button. And the site transforms into the exact site with a live cam in operation until the girl clicks the END button.

And in a flash format?

If this is a dumb question, my apologies. I know next to nothing about cams, as is probably obvious.

[BVF]

ok who can I pay to do this for me?
