Any experts on embedding a video in a page?

I have created a video that I would like to embed in my
website. My goal is to have the video actually play on the page
automatically and have a button to click for sound.
Currently I have a link to a page explaining that a media
player is required and a link to download a media player but that
seems cumbersome;

The link directly to the video is

Which DW are you using?

Error with embedded Youtube videos on website pages

On websites that have embedded Youtube videos, I no longer see a still shot of the video , nor do they have a button to allow me play them. Instead I see I message in the box where the video should be, that says "a plugin is needed to display the content". This must be related to a setting I messed up, because a few days ago I didn't have this issue. I would appreciate some guidance. Thanks

Embedded SWF video = slow loading page?

Hello and good morning,
I have recently created a website on DreamWeaver 8 with three
SWF videos (not FLV but SWF) embedded on it. The videos are
supposed to be set at "progressive download" but the page takes
ages to load up, as if the browser was loading up the videos as it
loads up the page itself.
Any ideas? Thank you!

Thanks, Hans
I should have noted in my first post that this was through Firefox... But regarding IE 8 (im using Windows 7 on my PC) it's slow from the very start and will sometimes skip, stutter and even completely stop half way through.
The original animation test should be much quicker.. about 4 seconds.
Im wondering if anyone else can verify this on their browser?

Embedding QuickTime Video om Web Page

Hello,
Thank you in advance for any help someone can provide. I am trying to embed a quick time movie on a web page. I have received the reference file from the company that will host the quick time movie and I successfully can embed the movie. How do I embed the movie with a frame of the movie with the controller to display when a visitor initially visits my page? Do I need to have the reference file recreated?

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/javascript/excerpt/learnwebdesign_chap22/index.html
scoot down the page and you will see
Use the autoplay parameter and attribute to set whether the
movie starts
playing automatically when the page loads (true) or if the
user needs to hit
the Play button to start the movie (false).

Embedding youtube video on .html page

Everything I read about this says it's very simple - just copy embedding code, paste onto page, and voilà. But it isn't working for me. All I see on the (show design view) page is the code. What am I doing wrong?

It is simple if you work in code view.
Delete the code you have inserted in Design View.
Switch to Code View then paste your code where you want the video player to appear on your page. Hint: it goes between <body> and </body> tags
Does this help?

CS6 - Trouble displaying Flash video in Web pages

Hi,
Here's my problem: I embedded .flv videos in HTML pages the same way I've been doing it for years. It worked fine until I moved to CS6.
The last video clips were edited and encoded in Flash format (1024x576 for 1800 bps) in Premiere CSS6 then embedded in HTML pages in DW CS6 after creating the .swf files with Flash CS6. All CS6, no compatilbity problems then.
Once onlie, they fail to display properly, i.e. you have to click a couple of times on the Start/Pause button and occasionally refresh the page to be able to view the video. It's works fine once started but the trouble is getting it to start automatically.
There's over 300 videos ranging from a few seconds to about 15 min on this site, and this is the very first time I come across this kind of problem.
Any suggestion?
Here's on of the old videos: http://www.aquiceara.com/UK/Video/Bresil_Maranhao_Survol_Lencois.html
And here's one of the CS6 "troublesome" videos: http://www.aquiceara.com/UK/Video/Chine_HK_Tai_Hang.html

The answer is to exactly copy the code from the CS5.5 and below versions of Dreamweaver.
Bu Nancy is correct. Everyone is moving to other standards for video on websites. Nancy generally recommends Pickle Player and I have been hand-coding using the HTML5 standards. I have generally found that all videos play in all browsers using the new standards, though you do have to support OGG and WEBM video files on your server.

AirPlay fails on embeded youtube video (livestream) from New iPad to Latest gen AppleTV.

Hello,
I just purchased a new Apple Tv (03/24/2014) and tried to airplay an embeded youtube video from Safari and Chrome on my iPad and received an error. Airplay is working fine from the youtube app, and other apps as well. I've done some poking around and wasn't able to find any concrete answers as to why it's not working. Apparently this used to work prior to sometime in August (not sure exactly when) of 2013. Any helo would be much appreciated are this is one of the main reasons I purchased the Apple Tv.

Hi IntroMike.
Take a look at this URL in the XBMC forum.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=179961&page=36
This discusses the issue you are seeing. It seems to be specific to the Youtube app and some embeded videos.
There is no known solution at this time apparently.

Why can't I view embedded flash videos on my MacBook Pro?

I can view videos on Youtube and embedded videos on some sites, but when I try to view embedded Flash videos on sites like CNN.com and NBA.com, I just get a black rectangle and nothing loads. I've tried this on all browsers. BTW, I also cannot open up tinted ads that come up in Google searches. I have the latest version of Flash, and I've deleted browsing data and settings and have checked "Allow sites to save info." I've disabled pop-up window blocker. I have no ad blocking software. I've installed the latest Flip4Mac plugin. I have even set up a new user account and tried these sites with that account to see if the problem goes away (it didn't).
I have a 12 inch 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro with OS 10.8.3 installed (though the problem started when I still had Snow Leopard). I have all the latest browsers and , as I've said above, the latest Flash. I've tried both Java 7 and Java 6. I should also point out that I can access these sites without problem with my office Macbook Pro, which is a 15 inch Core 5, loaded with the same software I have on my problem 12 inch notebook.
Any suggestions?

You have JavaScript enabled in all the browsers, yes? Have you tried launch the browsers in Safe Mode?

Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
Some other things to try are in this thread.

Embedded Youtube Video's not Playing in Web Viewer

I have several YouTube videos embedded in my folios. They all play fine when being viewed in the app, but if the folio is shared (by any channel) and viewed in the web viewer these videos won't play. Instead the user is greeted by this error:
Not found
Invalid character in path
I know that other apps using embedded youtube videos are playing just fine in the web viewer (I check out Wired) so I'm curious why mine are broken.
Any thoughts?

This streaming YouTube example works fine in DPS Tips web viewer:
http://contentviewer.adobe.com/s/DPS%20Tips/7f80a0ffed3a4ff08734bc905aac4a29/Advanced_Over lays/29_Video_Stream.html
Here's the embed code I used:
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QV1UZ-88HeE?rel=0" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
Are you using the same embed code format for your overlay?

Dreamweaver CS6: Embedding Youtube Video causes DW to stop responding

HI,
I'm trying to build a simple site that displays an embedded youtube video on the main page. The video is placed in a div tag that is placed in a specific spot on the page background to make it appear as if it's playing on an old PC that's part of the image. I paste the code into the div tag in the code view and it appears as a grey box in design view. Everything seems fine up to there, however when I click live view DW CS6 stops responding and the design view window goes white. I've tried pasting the video embed code into my other page, and into a blank html document to see if it was a problem with the rest of the code but the same thing happens on any of the pages. If I save the page and preview in Chrome or Firefox the page displays the windows loading cursor for a few minutes and then returns a youtube error 6 (ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
I spent a few hours researching and found nothing via Google searches, Adobe help or Lynda.com tutorials. I'm new to web design and CSS and got as far as I did through Lynda.com lessons. Which is to say I have an index page and a seperate game guide page that links back and forth displaying images and text exactly as I'd like. Everything else works well enough only the video embedding is giving me trouble which is frustrating because according to everything I've read it's supposed to be one of the simplest processes.
I'm really at a loss as to how to fix this issue and would appreciate any help the Adobe community can give me.
Thanks in advance.

Good to know,
I fixed the problem but I'm not exactly sure why this worked. I went to a different site that uses Youtube hosted videos and tried their embed code which appeared the same to my untrained eye. But to my surprise this other video worked perfectly, so I just put the url for my video in and it worked. I'm not sure why, as far as I can tell both embed codes are the same. Both use <iframe> tags. But it works now, suffice to say I've gained some respect for the people who do this stuff day to day.

Embedded MP4 videos not playing in iOS Safari

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with embedded MP4 videos (e.g. YouTube videos) not playing correctly in Safari. When I try to play one, I get one of two problems:
1. On my (first gen) iPad, Safari usually crashes.
2. On my iPhone 4, videos will load but only play audio, not video, though when I tap on the screen the "play" and "pause" symbols appear.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mike

Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.

Embedded Vimeo video not displaying in Safari 5

I recently embedded a vimeo video into the home page of my iweb website. It displays on most browsers and earlier versions of Safari, but not with Safari 5. Are others running into this problem? Do you have any suggestions?
My website is www.tmsnewengland.com

It works for me with Safari 5. Do you have ClicktoFlash installed for Safari? Does this Vimeo embedded video load for you: Embedded Vimeo Video

PPT with embedded MP4 videos not being improted as a playable video - how can I make the MP$ play as a video?

I have a PPT slide presentation that has embedded MP4 videos (captured using SnagIt) in the presentation. When I import and convert, all my PPT slides convert with animations intact, but the videos are not playable and appear only as a 'static' slide.... I'm messing around with the trial version of Captivate hoping it can do what I think it can (like what I just described here) and am trying to cost-justify the purchase of this package to my management team -but I have to make sure it can do what we want it to do first - so far, no good - but I think I'm probably just missing something...any tips or suggestions?

Hi there
One way to accomplish your goal would be to use what I call: The Camtasia Approach
Basically you play the presentation and use Captivate to record it. Camtasia operates that way with PPT.
Cheers... Rick

Process for creating a test file is as follows
Via youtube and your preferred browser, search for any video file (eg rubik's cube), select a video and start to watch it. Choose Share, Embed and copy the link information (eg <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/MaltgJGz-dU"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>)
Close browser and create a new powerpoint 2013 presentation.
Insert, Video, Online Video
In the "From a Video Embed Code" box, paste the link information then click the arrow to apply
Save the file and then Right Click on the file and Preview.
In advance of the creation/running, I've applied the following KBs to the machine(s)
kb2817636 & kb2837627
As i said at the start, members of the Power Uses or Administrators group don't have this issue - but as 99% of our users are "users" and not really an option to make them all members of PU group.
Same also happens if the computer is removed from the domain. Admin & power users work, standard users crash IE.
Uninstall and reinstall of Office 2013 and IE11 has no apparent difference.
Assistance in this is appreciated.
Thanks
Jon

hi Jon, do you have all available updates installed for your PowerPoint? Install the two KB in the links below, then test again:
