[gaemul]

Does anyone know how to put an mpg video on a website so people can just click on it and have it play?

Thanks
Mike

maybe he wanted to say "nope." or maybe he wanted to bump this to the top...indeed a bit helpful. or maybe he wanted to express that this exceeded his html coding knowledge, and therefore we would have an idea of what to ask him in the future.

at any rate, nope here, too....but i'd like to know. i'd also like to know what you're putting on that page ;)

how did this help....

just upload and setup you link to the file...
it should start if they have something to play the file type

<a href="thelink...">THIS</a>

hehe, good timing!!
I just added that feature to my site. Asuming we're dealing with PC's here that use Windows Media Player, Just make a playlist file that points to the file online. then just link to it in the html. Given the other end has the correct software this should work.

filename: playlist.asx


<Asx Version = "3.0" >

<Entry>
<Title > MPEG FILE NAME</Title>
<Param Name = "MediaType" Value = "video" />
<Ref href = "http://www.mywebsite.com/mympegfile.mpg"/>
</Entry>
</Asx>

www.mywebsite.com/playlist.asx (http://)



You could link directly to the file but some systems might try to download the file instead of playing it.


Try this out and lemme know how it goes.
