How Do You Insert A Video Into A Web Page?

Hi, I am making an online photo album from which I have also got some videos that I would like to play to me visitors.

How do I put a video into a web page with play buttons etc.

I'm not sure that there is a cross-browser method for playing video files in a webpage. Here is one thread I found through Google:

If your audience is totally IE, then the above method should do the trick. However, if you've got a mix of browsers visiting your site, then it may be better to merely provide a link to the video files. This way the user can download and play the videos in the player of his/her own choice.

Hope that helps,
Sadiq.

View source one of my pages:

Hidden on the very bottom of the page (in the source) I’ve saved a few different groups of code that may help you. Reply in this thread if you need more direction with this. :)

Yes, that it the sort of thing that I was looking for. (so it plays within my own page)

Just one slight problem thought that I don't know if you can help me with.

The videos that I have recorded with the digital camera are recorded at the best quality.

Do you know how I can degrade the quality of it a little and make a smaller window so that it doesn't take all day to load and play?

Thanks
Emma.

You’re going to need a program designed to do something like that - I’ve no information on any. Sorry.
