Getting Embedded video to work in V10 Brochure page

[Steve Marsden]

Hi,

We are currently getting ready to go live with V10 - currently in test mode on the server.
We would like to have a brochure page showing various video clips.
I have pasted some code from an archived Actinic forum page (from John Watkins from fitness-equipment) that embeds the Windows Movie Player.
I have inserted the .wmv filename in the two places required in the code.
After publishing the site, the Windows Movie Player window displays OK on the brochure page on the server, but it cant find the .wmv file.
I am assuming that the .wmv file should be in the Site1 directory and that the src and filename pointers to the .wmv file in the code doesn't need a path inserting.
I tried inserting the full URL path name, but still the same message.
Has anyone any ideas where I might be going wrong?

Regards,

Steve.

Keep it simple, upload video to youtube and embed the code youtube give you, there really is no other sensible solution.

Thanks for the very quick reply Leehack,

Sounds like very good advice. I'll do as you suggest and let you know.

Thanks again Lee,

It works a treat! - just a little bit of code per video and no messing about uploading large files to our server.

I use this method myself and it works really well, you can easily alter the screen size in the code too.
