i just want to post a video file in a .wmv, .avi, or .rm format. the file needs to be uploaded to my server and then a link provided to view it.

that script you gave me works for .wav files...will it work if I do the same for another format of video file?

thanks

this is what use for mpgs and asf files but I'm not positive if this code will work with the file types you mentioned but its worth a try...

this is what the following code looks like on the web: http://www.through-the-eyes.com/wrestling (http://www.through-the-eyes.com/wrestling)


here is the source

according to your link (http://www.streamalot.com/embed.shtml), to use the code it specifies to use .rpm rather than .ram format.

my question is, can I use .rm? is real player not the same as Real Media?...aka Real One?

if not I quess I'll need some pluggins.

thanks again.

I'm pretty sure they are the same... I use rm files myself. I know mpg = mpeg so I'd assume they are the same
