Full Version: Adding Video On Webpage
Does anyone know of a good way to add a rather large video to a page? I would like for the video to stream. Any good programs out there?
You will need to create a custom page with the nessesary code. Here is a link to Microsofts site that is pretty intuitive on adding Media Player.

As far as the video file you just upload it to your site with the filemanager

You can add video to your page by uploading it to your file manager and then referencing it in your code in homepage messages or homepage news etc.
A list of allowable file types can be found here: http://kb.monstercommerce.com/support/acti...Id=142&catId=10
One thing to consider though, is if the video is running at all times and not by a link that a customer clicks on to view it, your bandwidth could take quite a hit.

You best bet is to use the following code as a starting point.
This will add a media player control to your page and allow for the file to stream when the page is being viewed only. If you dont want the file to autostream change the <PARAM name="autostart" value="True"> to "False"

Thanks! What is the best video format to use? .wvx ?
wsx, asf, wmv, and I am pretty sure that mpg, mpeg, and avi will work as well but the last 3 may not stream and have to fully download before they will play.
I would think twice before putting the video on a MC server since it is not a streaming server at all. We host our video off site on a streaming server for that reason.
Just my 3 cents.......

We need to add videos to our webpages. Please help. We need videos to start as soon as the customer visits the page. These videos will be 1-2 minutes long and we do not mind hosting videos platform other than 
. Replies and any help would be appreciated.

Did you read Javahead's reply? I do believe the code he provided will autostream the video when the page is loaded.
