Inserting Windows Media video file on top of image

Can anyone tell me how to get a windows media file inserted on top of an image? I did it once by making the image the page background, but that prevented me from being able to create hotspots on the image for links. Now the 2nd time around, I have the image placed through the Insert command but can't figure out how to insert the video on top of it. Click below to see the two examples. Thanks.

I know there are different options for embedding video. I started off with WM to see how well it may work. If I have any problems, I may try converting it fo to another format such as flash, or even uploading it to a youtube site and embedding the code. Thanks for the advice.

  • Windows Media video file

    Does anyone know of a way to insert a windows media video file instead of the standard Quicktime video? Most of the viewers who will come to my site are Windows based and on corporate networks that will not allow them do download and install Quicktime. Thanks very much, great site.

    Use the HTML Widget feature.

  • How can I create a pop up window for a Windows Media video file in Dreamweaver CS6?

    I have a Windows Media video file on my homepage that plays automatically when you go to the website. I'd like to change my homepage. I now would like to place text that says "click here to play the video" and I'd like a pop up window to open and play the video. I'm using Dreamweaver CS6. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Is the code you told me about (above), is it necessary for older browsers such as ie8? I thought you were saying it was for the HTML5 tags and I wasn't sure I'd bother with it. If it helps people with ie8, I probably should add it.
    I include it (or a link to a localized copy of the file) by default now.
    To truly support the ancient browsers out there, you'd likely need something like...
    <video width="500" height="500">
        <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
        <source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
        <source src="video.webm" type="video/webm" />
        <object width="500" height="500">
        <param name="movie" value="video.swf" />
        <embed src="video.swf" width="500" height="500"></embed>
        </object>
    </video>
    I don't bother with a Flash fall back for old browsers though. I just put in text letting the viewer know they're behind the times pretty severely, like...
    <video width="500" height="500">
        <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
        <source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
        <source src="video.webm" type="video/webm" />
        <p>Your browser is horribly, helplessly and hilariously outdated. Visit <a href="firefox.com" target="_blank">www.firefox.com</a> to download something better, more secure, modern, worthwhile, etc, etc...</p>
    </video>
    For junky old browsers that can't see any HTML5 (which the <video> and <audio> tags are), they get a text message to get something better and a link to go there.

  • How do I run a Windows Media video File .wmv in FireFox? What is the required extension or add-on name?

    I have Windows 7 and FireFox 24.0
    I am trying to make a standard Microsoft Media Video file .MWV run. When I click on the video link to plant the video I get a message saying I need a plugin to run the file.
    I have already run in the install program at the link below. This install program named wmpfirefoxplugin.exe does not install anything into my FireFox plugins list or Extensions list.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/play-windows-media-files-in-firefox?esab=a&as=aaq
    When else can I try to make FireFox run a .MWV file?

    hello, please try this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins'''. double-click it and change its value to '''true''' (a restart of the browser might be necessary afterwards for the change to take effect).

  • Opening Windows Media videos in Safari

    When clicking on windows media video file, the video will open, but also goes to a blank browser page -- being new to Safari -- can this be changed for PC (and Macs)?
    I would like to have just the windows media application open to see the video, while still being on the same browser page I was at and not having to use the Back arrow button to return to the previous page.
    Thanks
    AK

    You cannot use the WMP plug-in on an Intel Mac. To make it work you have to force Safari to run via Rosetta. Select Safari then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Check the box labeled "Open in Rosetta."

  • Importing windows media video

    I can't import windows media video file into itunes. Can somebody help?

    iTunes cannot import Windows Media Video. You'll have to use some other software to convert your WMV into a format iTunes can accept. Try Videora iPod Converter, which many people seem to have success with.

  • Windows media video

    anyone knows of an app that plays windows media video files? been looking

    No, CorePlayer promises that it's coming but it's not there yet.
    N96 and N78 are promising WMV support, I guess one the codec is in the devices (N96, N78) then other players will take advantage of it being there.
    For now all we can do is wait for these products to come out.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Using Windows Media video clips in iWeb

    I purchased Flip4Mac to begin encoding Windows Media movies for publishing via iWeb. I have discovered it is not possible to include Windows Media clips in iWeb pages. iWeb automatically queues QT on any browser viewing the page with a movie embedded regardless of the movie's format. Is anyone aware of a work-around for this?
    As much as I like QT and besides the fact that it is a far superior product to Windows Media, QT has a very limited presence on PCs where admin. privs. are required to download software. This excludes a significant number of corporate machines and libraries, a big viewing market for my site. Since my site is basically a video clip library, I'd like to find a solution for this.

    YOU ARE RIGHT "MOST" people will see your stuff on a windows PC
    HERE IS A SUPER SIMPLE SOLUTION that will pull up the windows media player & play your video
    You need to make a non-movie page, any will do. Start your movie and take a photo of it with shift-apple-4. This will give you an image of the movie and also the Windows Media Player frame. Place this image on your page, give it a title etc and make sure the image is selected. Using the inspector, chose Link to File. When you do this, navigate to the wmv file that corresponds. When you upload your site, that file will be stored along with it and when the link is hit the wmv movie will launch
    PIECE-O-CAKE!

  • I want to convert the MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a) to a window media audio file

    i want to convert the MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a) to a window media audio file,  i downloaded some songs so i can run them with a photo slide show on my samsung video.  the machine would not play them (could not find them)  the files that work are all windows media audio

    You can't convert to WMA with iTunes. I'd be surprised if the software can't read mp3 files. iTunes can convert to that. Otherwise there are free format converters out on the web. The suite from http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/ is handy and includes an audio convertor. There is no need to install their toolbar or any other 3rd party software that gets offered.

  • Windows Media Player file format invalid

    I'm running Mac OS 10.3.9 and the latest Windows Media Player 9.0.0. Sometimes when I try to open Windows Media Player files (.asx) people send me I get "Cannot play back the file. The file format is invalid." How can I get these files to play?
    Or is there another Mac application that will play these file (.asx) file formats?
    Thanks.

  • Nokia Windows media video support

    Nokia Windows media video support any program to watch.

    Is this one of those puzzles that you have to arrange the words to make a sentence?
    Can you give us a bit of basic detail such as what phone you have?
    If you are asking what program you need to watch WMV files then the answer is none. The only phones that support this are some of the newer FP2 models like the N96 & N85. For older models there is no software that lets you watch WMV's.
    If thats not what you are asking then please try to explain in more detail exactly what you want.

  • Usb windows media video

    I am abroad and somebody lent me a usb drive with a large windows media video i need to upload to my ipad.  I do have access to a pc in an internet cafe. How do i do that?  Im a newbe, so please dumb down the step by step instructions.  Thanks a million!

    You can give this a try. Offhand, I can't think of any other way to do it. This will cost you a few dollars in order to do this.
    I assume that you know how to copy the file from the USB drive to the PC, so copy the file to the PC.
    Download an app like the Wireless Transfer App on your iPad, You will be able to upload the file to the iPad using a Web Browser on the PC.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wireless-transfer-app-share/id543119010?mt=8
    Now you need an app that can play the files on the iPad.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wmv-player-video-movie-player/id368740608?mt=8
    You might want to read the descriptions about these apps before you get started. There are other WiFi transfer apps that you can download in the App Store and one of the others may have more appeal to you.  I did a quick Google search for the Windows media file player as well. I'm sure that there are other apps that will play the files that you can look for if this one doesn't seem to suit your needs.
    NOTE: Make sure that you read the support information and instructions for the Video Player app because I don't use the app and I'm not sure how you get the files into the app once you have transferred the video to the iPad. I assume that you can use "Open In" like you use for other apps on the iPad.

  • How can I play windows media aduio files?Need help...

    Oh ,I bought a N70 in China.It is not all the same as the product which sold in Euro.It doesn't have the anterior camera .And my N70 can't play the windows media aduio files from my classical music CDs,I tried several software but all failed.What's the matter?
    Thanks for replay!
    Good luck to ereryone !

    WMAPlus! says it plays Windows Media Audio on phones like the N70 (based on S60 2nd Ed.):
    http://my-symbian.com/s60/software/applications.php?fldAuto=1427&faq=2
    I believe it does not handle DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected WMA files, though.
    Also, there's no S60 3rd Edition version (but then there are S60 3rd Edition based models with WMA support built-in, such as the N91).

  • How to merge music from a My Music (Windows media audio files)  and iTunes?

    Purchased some music from iTunes music store and I am hoping to get them on my MP3 player that is NOT an iPod. Is there a way to do this? I want to have these songs as well as songs from my My Music folder (Windows media audio files) on my MP3 player....
    I know I cannot move the music from iTunes to the My music.... (well I can but when I click on them to play, iTunes comes up)
    I know that iTunes is not compatible with my MP3 player....
    anything besides burning a disc (which I am not sure my computer can do...)?
    thanks in advance, Megan

    Purchased some music from iTunes music store and I am hoping to get them on my MP3 player that is NOT an iPod. Is there a way to do this? anything besides burning a disk?
    Sorry but no, there isn't. Tracks from the iTunes Music Store (as they are with any other legal download store with major-label content) are copy protected and so can't be directly converted. The only way to get them into another format is to burn them to an audio CD, so if your computer doesn't have a CD burner, then you're stuck, I'm afraid.
