dzirkelb1 Posts: 1444 Joined: 10/5/2004 From: Cedar Rapids, Iowa Status: offline	Display Video Online - 3/3/2009 14:29:53 I have no idea on how to display video online. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to display embedded videos online? Much like youtube does?


Tailslide Posts: 6755 Joined: 5/10/2005 From: Out here on the raggedy edge Status: offline	RE: Display Video Online - 3/3/2009 15:22:01 There are lots of different ways with various pros and cons. My own opinion is that Flash is the best method of displaying video on a website - I tend to use SWFobject (a javascript script) to display it in an accessible manner. If you don't fancy hosting it yourself then you can always embed a youtube video in your page - but be aware that there's a time limit on the vids you can upload. I still use SWFobject to embed youtube vids too. The advantage of Flash over say quicktime is that more people have the flash plugin plus it's a more compressed format. _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to dzirkelb1)

If you have a long video, try Vimeo.com Good luck, Ed (in reply to dzirkelb1)

TexasWebDevelopers Posts: 761 Joined: 2/22/2002 From: Dallas, TX Status: offline	RE: Display Video Online - 3/4/2009 9:25:54 The video controls are also Flash. You need a tool to create them (like, er, well, Flash). We really like Blue Pacific software and use their video-encoder to convert to Flash with many choices of players. I'm sure that these forum members can also give you great recommendations for free solutions. http://www.blue-pacific.com _____________________________ Follow us on TWITTER (in reply to dzirkelb1)

You could do it the easy way and use Youtube... _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to TexasWebDevelopers)


dzirkelb1 Posts: 1444 Joined: 10/5/2004 From: Cedar Rapids, Iowa Status: offline	RE: Display Video Online - 3/4/2009 10:58:24 I currently own swishmax. The problem is, I will have thousands of videos and I would not want to change this for every video. What video displays is based upon a search criteria. so, how do I just build or buy or get a single player that just pauses, plays, stops, fast forwards and rewinds? And, once I get that, then what do I do to play the video? (in reply to Tailslide)

I haven't used it myself but I know that Jaybee has recommended it in the past - that might be a good option for you. _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to dzirkelb1)
