Embedding video

[Undertaker #59*]

Several video sites out there are now making it VERY easy for you to embed video in your posts. On the page where you view the video, they supply the HTML so that you can embed it in a post here just by copying and pasting the code like so:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_E2YU3fBTeE"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_E2YU3fBTeE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Attached is a screen cap of where to get the embedded code on youtube.com

So just copy the EMBED code from the site, and paste it here in your post, that's it.

And in this post, we have an example from break.com

<embed SRC="http://clip.break.com/dnet/media/content/runningknockout18.wmv" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="320" AUTOPLAY="true" ></embed><br><a href="http://www.break.com?e=1" target="_blank">As seen on Break.com</a>

If you know a little about HTML, you should be able to modify this code in order to do the same thing for other videos from other sites.

Here is another one from metacafe.com

<EMBED name=MediaPlayer src='http://www.metacafe.com/play/91381/jumper_missed.asx?emailClientType=2048&timeStamp=2006-03-20%2018:03:45' width=400 height=370 type=application/x-mplayer2 autostart="0" ShowControls='1' ShowStatusBar='1' allowScriptAccess='never'></EMBED>

[patsin??]

thanks

How do you embed code for a video on a site that doesn't show the embedding code?

 

[Undertaker #59*]

I am sure it can be done with a little HTML. I just have never looked into it.

That's what I figured. I'd think one would have to have access to the code and then it could be done. I wonder if there's a way to find that...under properties or something? Think I'll ask my tek this question.

Doesn't work for me

It looks like the code you are using is inputting the [ URL] tags. This should work:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/O6xpcadT5HU&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/O6xpcadT5HU&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

You can quote that post and see the difference between that and what you were trying to post. Your original code had BBCODE in it.

I couldn't see any of that.

 

[Undertaker #59*]

Let's see if this works. Here is the code you had in your original post:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="[URL]http://www.youtube.com/v/O6xpcadT5HU&hl=en"></param><param[/URL] name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="[URL]http://www.youtube.com/v/O6xpcadT5HU&hl=en[/URL]" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

Those "URL" tags are screwing it up, here is what it should look like:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/O6xpcadT5HU&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/O6xpcadT5HU&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
