FLV and MOV trailers on your webpage.

Recommended Posts

First off, we're new to this forum, so greetings to everyone. This is more website related than it is "cinematography" related, so we thought we'd post it here. Does anyone know how to embed FLV or MOV formatted videos into HTML? This would mainly be used to post a short trailer or bonus footage on a webpage. Any help would be great.

 

Many thanks in advance.

To put Flash on your website, first put:

 

1. The flash player (I use http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player - it's tiny, like 4k)

2. The flash movie (yourmovie.flv) formatted to 480x270 (I'm assuming it's 16:9) and a max bitrate of 1.5Mbps

 

in the SAME FOLDER on your website as the page you want them displayed on (this will probably be just the "Public" folder)

 

Then on the page you want to flv to play, put the following bit of code:

 

<p align="center"><object

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height

="290" wmode="transparent"

data=

"flvplayer.swf?file=yourmovie.flv&autostart=false">

<param name="movie"

value="flvplayer.swf?file=yourmovie.flv&autostart=false" />

<param

name="wmode" value="transparent"

/>

</object></p>

 

That's it! If your movie is 4:3 or you want it bigger/smaller, you just change the width and height restrictions - note that the vertical height should be 20 pixels larger than the actual vertical height of your file, to account for the play control bar)

 

To embed a mov: (again, assuming 480x270, and don't go above 2.5Mbps - and for MOVs the play control bar is 16pixels)

 

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="286" width="480">

 

<param name="src" value="http://www.yourdomain/yourmovie.mov">

<param name="autoplay" value="false">

<param name="type" value="video/quicktime" height="286" width="480">

 

<embed src="http://www.yourdomain/your.mov" height="286" width="480" autoplay="false" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">

 

</object>

 

set Autoplay to "true" if you want the movie to play automatically when people open your page. Personally I find this very annoying but ymmv.

Thank you very much Alex. Would it also have the full-screen capabilities like the video streams you see on youtube?
