embedding media files

[goodgad]

any advise on how to do this with the bb code. cant seem to get mine working

[BMD]

Example:

THIS code:

Code: Select all

 [video width=400 height=350]http://www.balloontrader.com/lta/videos/Circus_Splash.wmv[/video:2zqf0sku]  

without the added :number after =350 and after /video in the [ ]

produces this wmv video:

[video width=400 height=350:2zqf0sku]http://www.balloontrader.com/lta/videos/Circus_Splash.wmv[/video:2zqf0sku]

standard video is a 4 wide by 3 high ratio... and add 50 for the controls

you have to have the wmv, avi, etc enabled and set for streaming in the ACP

go to the ACP...
click extentions...
click extention mgmnt...
make sure wmv and avi are set to streams....
clcik extention group mgmnt...
set streams to physical and set a max file size....
mine is at 10 megs for avi and wmv...
that should do you....
ftp your video clips to your site...
create a post and enter the bb code like above but pointing to your clip...

just one final question. sorry. how wiould i find the width and height of the clip ?

with a standard clip you do not need to change the W x H settings.

Standard video is 4 wide by 3 high... and multiples there of
150 x 200
300 x 400
600 x 800

Hi-Def clips are 16 wide by 9 high... and multiples there of


the numbers set the size in the display in pixels

cheers
Doug

[goodgad]

but do i not need to know them ?

[BMD]

gad

the 300 x 450 only set the size that is displayed....
bigger number bigger image....

that is for you to decide....

I'd leave the 300 by 450 in most cases
