how do u put a video online
« on: February 16, 2005, 04:32:59 PM »
I have a video that i' trying to put on to a site of mine. I have already uploaded and as far as i know I have the HTML format right but If i try to click on the link when i put it on my webiste, the page will show up as not existing.  Is this the right HTML format?  I think i probably need to add something.

or any old html file.  It doesn't matter.  My point was to try using the full http address to see if it's hosted correctly.  Open notepad, type the code above with a full address as the href, hit file, save, change type to all files and save as something.html.  Open it with IE or firefox and click the link.  It's that easy.

It should look something like this.

{<Ahref="http://www.public.asu.edu/~jbovenzi/images/Airsoft/video/Ninja.rm"><IMG height=115 alt="Ninja Bart" src="http://www.public.asu.edu/~jbovenzi/images/Airsoft/video/ninja.jpg" width=156 border=0></A>}

Except take the brakets of the beginning and end, I just put those there so the code would show up.  This code will put a picture as the link to the video.  Substitute the url of your video and the name of the picture you want to use, or just delete the picture section of the code and it will just be a text link.

Video portion of code: {<Ahref="http://www.public.asu.edu/~jbovenzi/images/Airsoft/video/Ninja.rm">}

Image portion of code: {<IMG height=115 alt="Ninja Bart" src="http://www.public.asu.edu/~jbovenzi/images/Airsoft/video/ninja.jpg" width=156 border=0></A>}

Hope that helps.

Ok thx for the help so far, I now have the link working and when clicked on it will download the movie in .rm format. However only Real Player can play this, I have the video uploaded to my site in both .rm and .mov. But in .mov it just says that its a bad link, are there any other formats that I can try putting it in, if so how would I convert it.

 I used Real Producer 10 to change it to from .mov to .rm, will Real Producer allow me to change it to anything else?

If the mov file link doesn't work then you need to check your typing.  The code will work for any video format... it's just a link.

Double check your spelling, typo's etc.
