Showing video player to webpage?

D

Dig

How can I add a video player to my webpage? I've seen
these on many pages now, like MSN home page, and others
where it looks like a tv or something similar and when you
click on a link it shows it in the player right on the
page.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

This is tricky, because there are so many video formats
and video players in use. As a result, you never know what
your visitors are going to have.

The safest and most generic approach is to save your video
in various formats (such as Windows Media, RealVideo, and
QuickTime) and then provide ordinary hyperlinks to each
one.

You might also want to consider the Windows Media Player
FrontPage Add-In available from:

but keep in mind that it only works on systems with
Windows Media Player Series 8 installed.
