Embedding a YouTube Video?

[Louis Carlino, MA, RYT]

Hi,

Any hints on how to embed a YouTube video into a Publisher 2007 built
website. Or, are there other (better) means of embedding video other than
going through you YouTube.

Thanks in advance for any ideas,

Several questions have been posted asking how to display video on a web page
using publisher.

http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Video-to-Flash-Converter.htm

The above FREE program will convert videos to flash and provide the
necessary code that is compatible with publisher.

I tested it using a Canon digital camera that takes movies and saves them as
an AVI file
Using Windows Movie Maker (another FREE program) I edited the movie and
saved it as a WMV file

I then converted the WMV file to a SWF (Flash) file
Placed the code provided by the converter in the HTML fragment box
Edit the size in the code if you want a smaller picture

Publish to the web and post the SWF file in the same folder

The SWF files start over on their own and repeat

Try using the FLV output, it only plays once
Publish to the web and post the FLV file in the same folder


That's all there is to it

It seems to me that I remember that YouTube provides a code snippet that you
can insert via the Insert > html code fragment in Publisher. And you could
always provide a link to the YouTube file and thus give the viewer the
option of viewing it. Don't forget that many of those files take a long time
to download and many people will not want to wait for it to download and may
leave your site.
