How to add videos to your webpage

Embedding Windows Media Player Files


You can insert Windows format movie on your Webpage by adding the code below within the body of your html source code. Just right click within the text area, from the popup menu click on 'select all' ,then right click again and select copy and then paste to your html document.


You will need to edit the source code to let the player know where the media file is eg. param name="filename" value="MyMovie.mpg" and embed src"MyMovie.mpg".

Where MyMovie.mpg is the name and extension of the multimedia file or url. It's much easier to use an html editor such as dreamweaver and frontpage just to name a few. There are alot of good editors out there.
