uploading video to a web site???

Hi everyone,

I have a web site with still photos and would like to upload a video. What
do I need to do??
Does it take a special web site or will any one do??
Could use some help and/or advice, please.
Thanks!
Roln

Just upload the file and provide a link to it.
Just as if it were a still image.

In fact having a representative thumbnail still image
from the video would make a nice link to click on.

Can we assume you are talking about a WMV file?

If it is WMV, just try it. It will likely work right off the
bat. If it is some other kind of file, you might disclose
what it is in order to get more accurate responses.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your reply and the info therein....

I'll make a test video and give it a try....and let you know
if it works.

Hi Richard,

I uploaded a small movie clip to my web page and I think it
works okay. Only problem I'm having is, the movie plays
when you move your mouse over the picture. I would rather
have it play when you double-click on it.
Check it out here: http://rolnatt.home.mchsi.com/ Click
on "videos" to see the movie.
Thanks!

It is doing exactly what you programmed it to do. If you look at
your source code for that page, it says...

<img border="0" dynsrc="Fekix1.wmv" start="mouseover"
src="Fekix1_0001.jpg" width="160" height="136" loopdelay="1">

What did you use to create the html code for the page?
Yours is an HTML web authoring question, not a WMM question.

Hi Richard,

I used Front Page to make my web page and I need to do more studying
to find out how to configure the movie to play when I click or double-click
on the icon. As of now, I don't seen an option to do what I want.
Thanks for your reply.

Front Page appears to offer only two choices for video start:
( ) File Open or ( ) Mouse Over

There may be other HTML authoring tools that will allow more options?

Richard,

I made a few changes and now my short video opens up in WMP, when you
"click"
on the picture of Felix.
