Embed video in iWeb?

I would like to embed an iMovie video (.dv file) in an iWeb site I'm working on. The kicker is, the server space for the website isn't large enough to store the video. I've uploaded it to an alternative, free site. Is there any way to embed this video in an iWeb website?
Oh, and do I need to change the file type for that video? I haven't messed with it in about a year and seem to remember saving it as anything other than .dv was a pain.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, sounds reasonable. The reason it's currently in a .dv file is that I can't seem to find any way to export (or save, even) from iMovie. There doesn't appear to be a "save" or "save as" under the File drop down. There are a bunch of options under the "share" drop down, but they are all gray so I can't select any of them. The file doesn't appear to be locked or have any other access protection on it...Is there something I'm missing here?

Embed video into iweb page

Is there any way to embed video into my iWeb page without making an external HTML file?
Thanks.

QuickTime Media Link format. One of mine as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/wwdc_keynote.qtl
They are text based files that download when clicked so there is no need for any addition html code to open a new page.

How do I "embed" video into my iWeb site?

Thanks,

Squashed Flash Video in iWeb

This is a stumper and I could really use a freah perspective on it.
I have been trying to get a Flash movie on my iWeb site bu using the instructions on the iWebUnlimited site here...
http://iwebunlimited.com/iweb-tips/iweb-tip-9-flash-video-in-iweb-jw-player/
The problem I have is that when I publish my changes in iWeb and point my browser to the page the movie is on, the movie plays as a litttle squashed box in the middle of the player. Let me explain...
I followed the instructions on the iWebUnlimited site to the letter. I have downloaded the .swf and .js files, placed them in a folder called "flash" on my iDisk as well as my .flv movie file and a screengrab of the same size.
I have changed all the parameters in the HTML code to point to my iDisk and the relavent files.
I have changed the video dimensions to that of my newly encoded .flv video (640 x 352 - in ffmpegx)
When I go to my movie page in my browser, I see the still shot I took as a place marker in the right dimensions. Yet when I play the movie, although the player is the size I requested - 640 x 352 - the actual movie plays inside it as a squashed box. Take a look at the screenshot below to see what I mean.
The video should fill the black areas, but whatever I do this is the result...
Here is the info on the flash video I uploaded to my iDisk and how is should look...
And here is the HTML code with the same dimensions input in iWeb before I published. I have changed my username back to "username" for this screenshot FYI...
The weird thing is - I uploaded a flash movie a couple of years ago to the same page and it plays ok - looks fine. Shame I can't remember how the **** I did it! I wondered if having 2 flash movies on the same page were causing the problem, so I deleted the old one.
Same result.
I created a new fresh movie page and tried that - same result again.
I thought that maybe each movie needed it's own set of .swf and .js files as the 2 movies are of different dimensions, each player would need to be different dimensions also....?
So I even added another set of .swf and .js files. I tried copying the 2 sets of movie files to individual folders, but iWeb didn't see them at all - it only seems to see them is they are in a folder called "flash" in my "Web >Sites" folders on my iDisk.
I was wondering even if it was down to the encoding of the video, which I did in ffmpegx. I did have to do it in a roundabout way...
In Final Cut Pro I exported a full quality QT movie - ProRes422 1280 x 720 that turned out at 5.32 GB and 12 mins 5 secs in duration.
This is not recognised by ffmgegx, looks like the ProRes codec has it confused.
So I put it into Compressor and re-encoded it as a H.264 movie 1280 x 720 that turned out at 1.72 GB.
When I put this into ffmgegx it encoded just fine, but stopped after 7 mins and 7 secs.
I tried a hundred different ways but it always stopped at 7m7s...
So I eventually dropped it onto a droplet I downloaded somewhere to convert videos for Vimeo HD - 1280 x 720. I dropped this into ffmpegx and Hey Presto - it worked!
So I now have my full length .flv movie at my 640 x 352 on my iDisk with iWeb pointing at it and the correct dimensions input in the HTML code, and it STILL comes out squashed....
if anyone has a clus what is causing this or what I am doing wrong, I will be forever in your debt!
I know this is an epic mail, but I wanted to give all the info I can......

If you are using a SWF or FLV you don't need to use the JW player assets. Just reference the file in an iFrame code....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Flash-SWF-FLV.html
Adjust the dimensions of the frame to fit the movie and control bar if necessary.
This page shows the JW using the embed code and the javascript version...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
If you want to us the JW player using the javascript shown on the iWeb unlimited site, you need to adjust the player frame dimensions to suit the control bar position that you specified. I notice that this website doesn't mention the fact that the control bar position can be changed - normally "bottom" or "over". If you set the control bar to "bottom", the frame height needs to be increased. Also the javascript shown is not the latest one where you can specify all the custom options.
If you use the javascript that I employed for the second example on the iWeb for Musicians site, you can do a lot of customizing and specify flash with fallback to HTML5 or vice versa.

Inserting MobileMe Videos into IWeb

I have three questions about inserting MobileMe Videos into iweb.
1) I used the "insert from MobileMe" command in iWeb and it allows me to insert a video but I can't change the size of the video. Do you know how I can change the size.
2) I have some movies I have uploaded to the gallery via iMovie and some I uploaded via the mobileme site. The ones via iMovie I can easily insert like I mentioned in Q1 but the others I uploaded are put into an album and iWeb doesn't allow me to select the video I want to insert. It only allows me to insert the whole album which is a small box with links to the album. I want to choose the video to insert into the page. Any ideas How?
3) Is there a way to insert the video from mobileme using the Html Snippet? If so, how?
Thanks
Neil

You can use the [OBJECT/EMBED|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/object.html] code for inserting media in a page.
When you know the location of the movie you can create a path to it.
Your webgallery is in iDisk>Web>Sites>_gallery>100999>Movie.

Embedding videos on iweb program

Anybody know if it's possible to embed videos rather than just link them on the iweb program.
I'd love to have my videos embedded from youtube rather than linked but there's no mention of doing this in the iweb program.
ibookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hello:
I just solved this problem for myself. I embedded a youtube video by first copying the youtube embed code, which can be found on its url right next to the video, and right below the hard html link provided. It will say, "embed" and have some code next to it.
Check out mine:
www.allianceatlantis.tv/PP2.html
Ok, you get that code, and then stick the code where you want it in your webpage. BUT, you will need iweb enhancer to do it. In order for the code to take, you need to draw a round rectangle on your page where you want the embedded video, paste the youtube embed code, publish to a folder, run iweb enhancer on the folder, then upload with ftp.
If you are using .mac, then iweb enhancer has instructions for that, virtually identical.

Is it possible to embedd other Non YouTube videos on iWeb sites?

You know how there's a YouTube Widget that lets you easily embed YouTube videos on iWeb sites? I imagine this Widget doesn't work for none YouTube videos (e.g. MetCafe), so how do we embed those on our web site pages?

Use an HTML Snippet and an iFrame code.....

There are two versions of the same movie on this test page. One uses the Vimeo code and the other uses an iFrame code with the URL to the Video.

Embed Video in Word Acrobat 9

Okay, I've lloked at seom of the forum post, but could not find an answer. Here's my dilemna. We have a full license of Acrobat 9 Pro. When using Word, I try to embed a video via the Embed Video option in the Acrobat tab. However, that option is not avaiolabel. Insearching teh forums and internet, I found that Actobat 9 Pro Extended has that option. I downloaded a trial. While installing, it told me that I hasd a higher version of Acrobat 9 (Pro). So here are myu questions:
Is Pro better thatn Extended?
Is the Embed Video option availbale in Word with Acrobat 9?
If Embed Video options is not availabel, is there an add-in or plug-in to do this w/ Acrobat 9 Pro installed?
Thanks in advanced,
Clyde

The tools are in Adobe Acrobat.
Is Pro better than Extended?
No. Look here:

How do I embed videos in Muse CC?

Hi
I searched for the answer to this question and read that if I click 'Insert HTML', paste the link and click OK, the video should appear. However, every time I do this the application quits. I'm using a mac and I am trying to embed video from Vimeo.
What I'd really like to do is have several videos in a slide show format.
If anyone is able to give me some advice about why this might be happening / what I need to do, that would be great!
Many Thanks

CS as a marketing practice, its best to upload the videos to a secure website and embed links to the videos in the email.
If however embedding the video is the only way, attaching them to mail is perhaps the way you want to do it. Let me know if this helps.

Embed Video in inDesign and not have Dropbox logos?

Hi,
Is it possible to embed video from a video stored in your Dropbox folder and not have the Dropbox logos appear?

I tried embedding a video into my inDesign document which I have stored in my Dropbox folder. I did this to keep the file size down in my document, but when I embed the video that is in my Dropbox folder, the result is a video within the contained window of my document whcih is great, but it also contains the Dropbox logos at the top and I would love to get rid of the logos. The same thing goes for Youtube videos - when I embed a Youtube video, the whole Youtube page is included in the video window.

Can't play video in iWeb

I've created my site and compressed my video for iWeb in iMovie HD6. But for some reason, the video won't play when I visit the site. Any ideas? FYI, you can see the page here:
http://web.mac.com/aubreysinger/iWeb/TheTrip/cinematique.html

Aubrey,
I was thinking more about your question...perhaps you were asking about your movie playing automatically when visiting you page, no? If you would like to enable autostarting of QT movies, it's going to require some editing of some of the "autostart" values from "false" to "true". The method is detailed in this tutorial article by our very own mwong. I have provided a link here...scan down to the window entitled "iWeb 1.1(.1) Update" for the latest info on the .js files which you will need to update for autostart.

Is it possible to embed video from another site in wiki?

every-time i try and add in html code to embed video in the wiki page (not podcasts) it deletes it after i save and nothing happens

Hi,
The current wiki relies on html 4:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Embed tag is not a standard part of html 4 and is new in html 5. html 4 allows the object tag or the iframe tag to perform the external link function. Both object and iframe need to be added to the wiki whitelist for inclusion in the page html.
iframe creates a separate window that allows you to show the page with the video or rss link that you want to include on the wiki page.
object would show up as an separate window as well but has different issues depending on brower.
I have used iframe with good results as an alternative to uploading data to the wiki page.
HTH,
Harry

When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari.

When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari. Has anybody else had this problem?

I'm using pure HTML5 for mobile websites although you need to provide an OGG file for Firefox. See the movie page on this site...
http://mobile.ezmacwebdesign.com/
If you don't have an iPhone, grab the browser handle and drag it to the left to reduce the width to see how it responds to mobile devices' fixed width browsers .
This will play in all modern browsers and on mobile devices. You can use QuickTime Pro for the OGG or OGV conversion or get the freeware Miro Video Converter...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
If you only want to upload an MP4, you can use a flash fallback player and this will cover Firefox and those geriatrics that still use older versions of Internet Explorer....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Flow-Player.html
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Fallback-To-Flash.html
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
If you use any of the four fallback players above, take advantage of the fact that you can add a poster image and stop the video file from preloading. This makes for a faster page download time.
You can also achieve this using HTML5 by adding preload="none" and poster="URL to the poster image" into the code shown on this page...
