HTML - How Can I Convert Video For A Web-page?

I want to have a FLASH video overlay an image (the first frame of the video). How to I do this?

I've tried using the <NAME> tag and the <ID> tag. Neither works, or I'm not coding them correctly.

To view the video I'm working with click on this URL:

http://RDStouffer.net/geyser/

The above directory contains three items - geyser.jpg, index.html and geyser.swf

Here is the relevant HTML code--

<IMG SRC="geyser.jpg" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" BORDER="0" ALT="Sawmill geyser">

<OBJECT CLASSID='clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000'
WIDTH='320' HEIGHT='240'><PARAM NAME=MOVIE VALUE='geyser.swf'><PARAM NAME=QUALITY VALUE=HIGH><PARAM NAME=BGCOLOR VALUE=#FFFFFF></OBJECT>

How do I modify this code so the SWF video clip plays on top of the geyser.jpg image rather than next to it?

Thank you for your help.

Uncle Richard

saw some web pages where the video inside came from youtube

The whole page was from their own site but the window that showed the video was from youtube.
almost like a window into youtube for just that 1 part of the page

can this be done with just html?
area maps?

I really need to do this. My host server gives problems when I embed a video, It would be great just to use youtube

please help

Hello all!

I need some help to make a link on my webpage which can open a Youtube-video in a new empty window.

Youtube.com offers to types of linking the video-code:
a) a regular URL-link for opening the video in a regular youtube-page (with all menus and ads)
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i_VvpQbYj4
b) an embed-code which will show the video anywhere you want on your webpage.
Example: <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_i_VvpQbYj4"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_i_VvpQbYj4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

So I guess we have to combine these two methods for solving the problem?

Perhaps I can make an empty html-page called "\videopage.html", and then make a link-code which opens the videopage.html showing the video embedded?
Like this:
1. Make a file called "\videopage.html"
2. Make a link on my webpage with the unknown code.
3. When a user clicking on my video-link, it opens the page called "\videopage.html" and plays the video.
4. I have many videos linking from youtube, so I think I have to re-use the page called "\videopage.html" many times.
5. This means the "\videopage.html" needs to be empty all the time, and just be 'called on' by the code.

Can anyone help me? I hope a clever HTML-coder can make this work... Anyone with ideas?

Best regards,

Stereoid

I am having a problem with my site on IE 6. It's weird because I downgraded my browser to IE 6 so that I can detect these kinds of problems but it looks fine on my computer but weird on others.

Heres my issue....

On IE 6, after the movie loads up, it stops loading the rest of the html after the video. So right after the video,the rest of the coding won't load. It works on every other browser but I want to try to get it to work on IE 6 because a lot of people still use it.

Here is one of my video pages http://webtvdeluxe.com/v2/videos/Jones%20vs%20Trinidad/

It anyone can help me out, that would be great.

Thanks in advance

Hey all,

Is it possible to shut down video screen automatically after displaying the video?

I mean, after video is over, is it possible to hide the video screen?

( I tried to use embed tag...
<embed src="myVideo" autostart="true" /> ??)

Thanks,
Doron

I have a word document that I need to add to web template so I need it in html so I can just copy and paste the info. I have tried saving the page as webpage in MS Word2007 but this saves it as an MHTML doc and I cannot just copy and paste that to my template.

Is there anything I can use to convert the doc into html and keep the formatting in the doc?

How can I convert the attached image to HTML so the background runs the width of the page?

How do you convert a doc file into HTML using aspnet?

How to convert an image(.jpg,.bmp,.gif) into html tag? (Instead of giving the image path name in the tag <img src=../abc.jpg> html codes needs to be used so that without image in local folder the html file should display the image)

in the development of a website i've been given about 50 Word files as my client would have them designed as a webpage - i've NEVER had success doing a simple conversion - is there any good way to convert these .doc files to html without total destruction of the layout?

anyone?

many thanks,
Glenn

Hi All,

I've been working on a portfolio website for a little while now, which is currently built as a hybrid html and flash. I was hoping to code the whole thing in html, but was having some problems with the horizontal scrolling portion of the site. You can see how it looks he jcolt.com

There are 2 main things that are holding me back from this being entirely html:
I'd like to change the appearance of the scroll bar, so it looks like what i've done in the current flash version.

I'm also trying to map the scroll wheel on the mouse to scroll horizontally, across the gallery. Currently it works like this in the flash version, but again, trying to do it in html. I've seen it done successfully on this site: http://www.ptarmak.com/

My question is mainly; how complicated would this be to do? I have a working knowledge of html, but most of this site has been trial and error. Secondly, could anyone point me in the direction of code, or a discussion of how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I was wondering, that almost 90% of Video on the web is in flash. How will that video be converted into HTML 5. Also, are there any good HTML Video editing tools.
