Trying to add video to my site, need help

So, I am trying to add video content to my website. I've converted small video clip to test to the .flv format and have a .swf flash video player. I'm trying to embed it into my site but its giving me trouble. Here is a copy of the code I am using
<embed src="http://www.myfileserver.com/folder/flvplayer.swf" width="320" height="240"
bgcolor="#FFFFFF" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
flashvars="file=http://www.myfileserver.com/folder/video.flv&autostart=true" />
here is my question. I am confused to where my server is. I don't have my site content on an online server so does that mean, my computer is acting as my server?
On the embed src= "spot" do I just point to the place where I saved the .swf file on my computer? Same question goes for "file spot"at the bottom, the last line of code?
When I try and follow the directions and point to the files on my computer the video does not play. Hover over the 2nd video explanation to see my problem on my site to see the problem
Please check out my website at

Thanks,

When you started in Dreamweaver, you should have created a testing server. This testing server has the root folder defined on your computer:
You would put the flash movie into your media folder (or whatever folder you would designate for media such as this).
In Dreamweaver, on your insert panel, you should see a "insert media" button. Click the down arrow beside the button and choose the media you wish ot insert:
Choose FLV and it will give you the option to put in the URL (local testing server folder), a control button skin, and the size.

  • Trying to add video clips

    Hello, Im trying to add video clips, however when I publish the project the video does not show up.  I tried avi, swf, flv.  The avi's do not go in at all because it says it cannot convert it.

    Hi there
    Normally Captivate only understands the FLV format. You probably need to find a converter to convert the clips to FLV.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Trying to add video podcasts to iPod Classic

    I'm trying to add video podcasts to my iPod Classic 160GB. I can see them in the podcast summary page get added in the sync, but I can not find them on my iPod. I have 5 TV shows added to it and can find them under Videos but when I add the video podcasts they do not show up in the Podcasts section. Is there something I can do?

    They should appear under Podcasts if they successfully synced over to the device. I assume you didn't see any error messages when you synced these video podcasts over to your device?
    To be sure, reset sync warnings on the iPod by right->clicking on it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and choosing Reset Warnings. Then resync the iPod.

    HI! any idea why the add videos on apple site are not loading on my computer?

    You may have something as simple as a corrupt cache. Try resetting in Safe Mode and see if that fixes it. If not another thing to attempt is opening Disk Utility and Repairing Disk Permissions, do this action 2-3 times.

    AT&T
    I have a plan with them. And I'm upset With them (at&t)
    So I'd like to switch (from them)
    I've had AT&T since 1984 (though all there airtouch,cigular, etc)switches. they have no loyalty anymore.
    There free upgrade, is 36 dollars (they lie a lot lately)..(free upgrade fee???) then there's the required data plan for the free upgrade etc. do you want to use the phone for phone calls ?? there's a free fee for that too...
    So this is how I'm here poking around.
    Verizon I have a mobile hotspot.. it used at times in Monterey, CA . by Lori.
    My company gave me a Verizon Smart phone (removed). this is primarily for work. there plan.
    I've been told I can use it at will, but it's still not to me a personal line.
    With at&t I have 3 lines shared minutes etc, and home internet though uverse (at&t)
    So I have a mixed bag I'd like to clear up to one low easily managed service.
    I'd rather not incur additional cost trying to switch out all the phones etc
    Like to keep current phone numbers.
    The home internet (uverse) double my rate last month (end of promo) to 42 a month. not happy about that and am canceling that asap and returning there modem. I don't need much more than reading e-mail and such for my desktop computer, and netbook I use at wifi when needed (free hotspots etc).
    my wireless (cell phones) 3 lines 1400 minutes runs 130 a month. I'm not using that much anymore as the company phones picking up all the business calls now.. (they drop the cellular reimbursement money from my paycheck).
    the 1400 plan I had unlimited email no data free friends family (a list) grandfathered.
    One phone is a Pantech breeze III (p2030) (removed) (think it's locked)
    #2 phone AT&T Z221  (removed)  (think it's locked)
    my phone #3 is a sony-ericsson C905 (unlocked) bit it's having problems (slider open disconnect calls sometimes and static. Ok using Bluetooth closed slider) (removed).
    So let me know if you can come up with a way to save me time and of course money. 
    I personally think I could share data off my existing account for my desktop here, as I'm mainly interested in doing e-mail on my home computer.
    Thanks mike

  • Hi i'm trying to add videos that I have downloaded to my pc onto my ipod

    Hi I am new to this and i'm not having much luck I'm trying to add a tv show that I downloaded to my pc onto my ipod. can anyone tell me how i can do this....Thanks for any help you can give me ..

    Hello Lynda,
    Have you imported/added these videos to your iTunes library? If so, do they appear from under the Movies section?  How do you have your iPod set up to sync videos from under the Movies tab for your iPod? 
    For more help on syncing videos to your iPod, see this article.

  • Trying to add video file but does nothing

    I am trying to add an mpeg that 85MB but iTunes acts as if I had done nothing.
    Can anyone help?

    Itunes ignores any files it does not support. This is very frustrating for the user, because we are used to seeing error messages or popups. In the long run, ignoring attempts to add a file saves time. There is nothing to do, no workaround, no trick. If iTunes ignores the attempt to add the file, then it absolutely does not support that particular file.

  • Hi, is this the right product for enabling flash contents? I need support for my Harvard e-learnings pls.  After downloading Presenter, I get an error message 'Not a valid presenter' when I add the Harvard url.  Need help.

    Hi
    Is there anothe product for enabling flash content.

    Pallavi,
    Adobe Presenter is a plug-in application to MS PowerPoint that allows you to add video, audio, Flash and quiz content in to a presentation and then author it out as a Flash based presentation that can the be delivered to others via the web. You are asking about enabling Flash content. In what browser/application are you needing to enable Flash Content?
    The 'Not a valid presenter' message is most likely due to you not have the rights to author content to Harvard's e-learning system, but without knowing if the URL is for a Connect account or some other e-learning platform, it's hard to give any useful insight.

  • Oracle web site - Your site needs help

    I somewhat new Oracle and being a developer for years and using software vendor web sites to get things can be challenging.
    However, Oracle is one of the worst web sites I have ever seen.
    I am trying to download the Oracel Client (Yeah...where the heck is it??) and haven't found it for over 30 minutes.
    Searching your site really stinks...it's awful!!!!!
    Finding anything is like...well...you can't!
    Do yourself AND especially your client(s) a favor...Make your web site easy to use...it really needs help.

    I have too very really frustated by Oracle Website for several years. Just today I was trying to download the Oracle personal edition, and putting 'download' or 'oracle personal edition' in the search box, and the results are mainly white papers and tech docs. The menu option also are not really hepful, neither the site-map.
    So after 30 mins, i finally got to what i was looking for. The thing is that while trying to get to the page, you get lost in the Oracle 'labyrinth' web-site and come across several interesting docs ( which i wont understand everything anyway). Its like going to the supermarket for an advertised product at $10 and you get out of the supermarket with lots of stuff at $300 you were not aiming to buy at first.
    Got my point ...well, I think Oracle wants to keep its website as it is. A company like Oracle does not lack resources to develop a more modern, easy-to-use and quick web-site. Certainly, the website handles a lot of info and lays on Oracle Portal ( if am right) but am sure Oracle does not lack database /application server and expertise to make it quicker and better !!

    hi edm2,
    i think you may need to open a new thread at IE forum also, perhaps there will be more detailed clue.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/home
    meanwhile please work through these steps.
    1. From Internet Options> General > Browsing History> Delete (next screen) uncheck Preserve Favorites website data then check and delete Temporary Internet Files.
    2. Go to Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone, set it to Default.
    3. Check any third-party security programs to see if one of them is blocking scripts, scripting, active content. A number of security programs can be configured to block scripts.
    4. Try these two commands from Start> Run> cmd [enter]
    regsvr32 vbscript.dll    [enter]
    regsvr32 jscript.dll       [enter]
    5. See if a browser add-on is causing the problem.
    Start Internet Explorer without add-ons by right-clicking the IE icon on the desktop. Choose Start without add-ons.
    or
    from Start> Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet Explorer (no add-ons)
    If the problem goes away, an add-on is causing it.

  • When trying to download videos from any site i get the message cannot create target file

    I have tried uninstalling firefox and video download helper then reinstalling them and changing the destination folder and resetting the commands .

    Do you see a "3G", "E", or "o" next to the carrier name and signal indicator on the phone? If not, then you are not connected to a cellular data network at all. It's not impossible that you're not in range of their data network. Who is your carrier and where are you located?
    If you do see one of those, you may want to call them again and ask explicitly to have them check the provisioning on your account.  Just because it looks right in the billing system does NOT mean they have it set up correctly.

  • TRYING to add videos to library, ARGGHH

    I cannot seem to add DVD's ( that's a movie, right?) to my iPod classic.
    I went through help;
    Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
    If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
    Nothing works, it doesn't grab it. And if I can't add it to the Library I can't go to:
    Advanced; Create ipod or iphone version.
    So ok, what type is the DVD? right click DVD it says UDF.
    I downloaded Freestudio Video to ipod converter 4.2.13, it doesn't take it when I try to Add Files.....
    I had made a copy to the desktop, one file, with two subfiles: Audio TS and VideoTS but it won't grab them to add.....
    Any comments, this is driving me crazy!

  • Updated to the new firefox 4.0. completely screwed up comp. Had to pay to have an old firefox reinstalled, trying to uninstall extensions and add ons but am unable to do it from the add ons and extension screen. need help

    I keep selecting the uninstall button on the screen but the restart firefox now button only comes up every once in awhile. I've restarted firefox several times but the addons and extensions are still there with the options of disabling or uninstalling available for selection. All extensions and addons worked just fine before upgrading to 4.0. Am really frustrated and disappointed with Mozilla Firefox because of this situation.
