    Default Please help! Cannot put video onto website!

    my url is brianpossy.bizhat.com
    on the right hand side, there is a link called A/V
    i have linked that to a video, which is about 6mb
    i'm using microsoft frontpage

    i have linked the video, and uploaded the file to my bizhat site. but when i click the link, it brings me to bizhat's homepage, instead of my video. why is that?

    please help!

    make sure your links to the video are not broken...

    no, you movie works fine (and is funny too. ;) ), it's just that how you have it coded, it won't play until it is completely downloaded, and identifies itself as an unloaded image until it finishes loading.

    I suggest doing this. Rather than using this code:

    Code:
    [img]yourmovie.mpg[/img]
    use this code:

    Code:
    <embed src="yourmovie.mpg" width="width" height="height" autostart="true" loop="false" align="middle"></embed>
    at least this code shows that you have a movie embeded into the webpage, and gives the viewer mplayer controls (play, stop, etc...) right up front, so they don't have to right click the movie. it also stops them from saving the movie by right clicking and clicking "Save Video As:".

    I also suggest simplfying your filename, like get rid of spaces or replace them with underscores, and getting uneeded parts like the (3) at the end...
