You can put an AVI or MPEG video on your web-page with this following code. It incorporates the player, so doesn’t depend on the user having “Quicktime” or “Whatever” installed.

<object id=”MediaPlayer1″ CLASSID=”CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95″ codebase=”http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsm p2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701″
standby=”Loading Microsoft Windows® Media Player components…” type=”application/x-oleobject” width=”144″ height=”154″ border=”2″>
<param name=”fileName” value=”Movie.wmv”>
<param name=”animationatStart” value=”true”>
<param name=”transparentatStart” value=”true”>
<param name=”autoStart” value=”true”>
<param name=”showControls” value=”true”>
<param name=”Volume” value=”-450″>
<embed type=”application/x-mplayer2″ pluginspage=”http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/” src=”Movie.wmv” name=”MediaPlayer1″ width=154 height=158 autostart=1 showcontrols=1 volume=-450 border=2>
</object>ntrols=1 volume=-450 border=2>





Change the screen size(s) to your choice and change the filename from Movie.wmv to your file movie name. Note there are two sets of names and sizes to change. Note 2, if you alter the display to “hide” the controls, you need to reduce the height setting by 44px.

Saving the original AVI file in MovieMaker to the smallest option reduces the files size dramatically. Choosing “Save to the Web”/”DialupModem(56k)” option reduces a 1.8GB file to 2.6MB.

The quality of your video will depend on how much you compress it – the greater the compression, the more detail you lose in your screen. Reducing the screen size increases the picture definition.

If your video is stored in a different folder to your web page, you need to put the path to the file in the code:
value=”path to file/Movie.wmv“
