Tis extremely easy with YouTube...you just copy the html url provide by
YouTube (you may want to manually adjust the ht/wt keeping the same aspect
ratio) then paste into Pub's code fragment thingie.

How are you uploading your site? Go back and read the referenced article
again. It discusses three ways of uploading the file. I prefer FTP uploading
myself, with a third party FTP program, but then I don't use a form on my
site.

David I came accross this thread researching to add video to my website but I
did not want a link. I wanted it to play when the page opened. I found out
how to do it in publisher.

The following will embedd WMP into the website. THere are only three things
you have to do to get it to work,
1 - Change the URL value to where your file is stored either on the
webserver or local file, 2 - add the HTML code by copying the below code into
the HTML box and 3 - Adjust the box location in website preview to make sure
it is in the right location on the website.

<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240"
style="position:absolute; left:0;top:0;"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
type="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="your file or url">
<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="none">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">
</OBJECT>

It took em about five tries to finally get it to work. My website is
www.weltekonline.com and I used publisher 2003 to create it.

Alarmguy,

Thanks so much for posting this information. I will save it, and use it when
others ask in the future.

I like your site...clean, easy to navigate and quick loading (except for the
video of course ;-). I must say though that you must be a young person with
young eyes, as these oldererer eyes find the font size a bit small for easy
reading.

Thanks again.

The only thing that would be worse than the flashing lights would be
obnoxious audio :)

thankyou for that stream. My only problem now is how to stop it once it has
played. Is there something else I need to add?

Many thanks.

I don't know for sure, but perhaps if you change the value from 9999 to 1
in:

<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999"

Also, Spike posted about this subject recently. I will copy and paste it
below to save you some time:

"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

That's all there is to it

Spike "

A minor flaw with my suggestion
It repeats the video
Still trying to get it to play only once
:)
