"How to add video to website or blog?"

Today we will discuss adding video to website or blog post. This article is divided up two parts, one part is talking about how to add video to website,the other is for blogger / blogspot blogs only. Embeding video to website or blog post makes it more interesting and attractive.

 

Add video to website:

1.Download and install this tools named WS video to flash encoder;

 

2.Run this tool and convert videos to .FLV format .PS:"Why need convert to .FLV?" At this time, the best way to add video to a website is to use the Flash FLV video format. There are several reasons why Flash FLV is the right choice right now:
@. Flash Player is found in more browsers than any other player. Flash works on MacOS X, Windows, and Linux. Flash works in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
@. Flash gives you excellent control over the presentation of your video; if you own Adobe's Flash product, you can design your own player user interface. There are also free and open source players you can use without buying Flash.

 

3.Uploading the Video
First you must upload/save your video to your web server. You may want to create a folder called "video" and save it there. So the path to your video will be something like htp://yoursite.com/video/video.flv.

 

4.add Video to website
One thing you should keep in mind is that every web browser treats videos differently. What may work in one browser, may not work in another. So you should use both old and new HTML embed tags. ((object) and (embed)). See the sample code below:

 

(object width="420" height="360"
classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab")
(param name="src" value="movie.mpeg" /)
(param name="controller" value="true" /)
(param name="autoplay" value="false" /)
(!-- Code For Older Browsers --)
(embed src="movie.mpeg" width="420" height="360"
autoplay="true"
controller="true"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/")
(/embed)
(/object)

Add video to blog:

 

You can embed video from three main sources.
1) Video stored on your computer harddisk. You might have shoot it using your cell phone and then downloaded to your PC.
2) Video from youtube.com
3) Video from video.yahoo.com

Now we will discuss how to add video from this three source

 

1) For embeding video from your PC , please go to create new post then in the post toolbar you will find a 'embed video' button or icon , at second last position from right hand side as shown below.

Then you have to select file from your PC by clicking on Browse , then give title and click upload video. But please remember that your video file format should be AVI, FLV, QuickTime, Real, and Windows Media.But I recommend the FLV format,WHY? just cause it will takes smaller size,transmits fast ....flv has been the main video format applied on the website ! so i advise to use .flv files ,if not this format,dont worry,download and install wondershare video to flash encoder and everything will be ok ...

 

2)For embeding video from youtube.com , after going on this site , you have to select the video you want to add. Then on the right hand side of the screen or browser window you will find Embed and html code written there as shown below.You have to select that code and paste into your post in edit html mode.

 

 

3) For embeding video from video.yahoo.com , after going to this website you have to select your video.Then below the video it is written Add to site and the html code will be there as shown below. You have to copy this code and paste it on you blog post in Edit html mode.

 

You can resize window size for video by changing width= and height= pixel no.s
