Off topic but relevant

I need some help from the knowledgable ones here.
I have some video clips that I would like to put on a website.
The video is in the wmv format.
I don't know how to put it on our website so that you guys can see it and then use it in a discussion I would like to have here.
Any one with the ability to explain to me how to do this, please email me or point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Whose website? You umpire association's? Unless the site has the ability to upload video built-in, you'll need to talk with the webmaster.

The eteamz site I admin (Softball Umpires) supports video files uploaded by the admin (me), but the free space provided by eteamz is pretty small. I've never uploaded a video file, so I don't really know how it would appear on the site. Probably as a link to be downloaded, like the handouts.

How big is your video (in MB)?

[scottk_61]

Yes, my website.
The files are diffeent sizes but the biggest is about 3.9mb
I use Dreamweaver (the older version, not MX)
I just haven't been able to get it to work so far.
I have plenty of server space, we are no where near our limit.
I am sure I know how to do it, I JUST CANT REMEMBER HOW!

I don't use Dreamweaver, so I can't say how you implement it there, but if you replace {} with the HTML angle brackets, this HTML code will embed a WMV file into an autostart Windows Media Player object on your page. (This code makes the assumption you have a subfolder on your side called "/media". You will need to modify the code per the actual file folder layout of your site and the size of the player object you wish to appear. You'll need to upload the video file into the /media folder on your site.

{embed id="xxxx" src="./media/abc.wmv" width="330" height="301" autostart="false" loop="false" controller="false"}{/embed}
