You would need to convert to a video format that has a player for it. avi, mpeg, mov.

but my ftp client says its .avi

Then try just changing the filename to .avi and embedding it. Otherwise, you'll need to convert it to a format that has a "embeddable" player, like a Quicktime format or Flash.

The DivX Web Player Plus lets you embed MKV files. There is a beta up right now on the DivX labs site, and they have a code generator you can use to put the player on your site through simple copy & paste of HTML.

All you need is the URL of the .MKV file

Haha yea

They didn't have MKV support a year ago (when this topic was created)

Thanks though!
