Need to embed self hosted media - Not Youtube, Google Video...

[ajhalls]

I need to be able to start embedding video in my posts on http://www.Coursesaver.com. I have the space to host my own files and can encode them to any file format that I need to. Currentlly they are as AVI files. They are around 45 minutes per video and I would like to have 1 copy of reduced quality, and a second of good quality that is subscription based. They are videos helping students get ready for the med school tests. I just upgraded to Vbulletin 4 because of the built in video embedding, but didn't know it was only for big services like youtube.

This is a html code to embed avi not sure if it will help :

<object id="MediaPlayer1" CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows? Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" width="280" height="256">
<param name="fileName" value="file name.avi">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="-450">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="file name.avi" name="MediaPlayer1" width=280 height=256 autostart=1 showcontrols=1 volume=-450>
</object>

I will have a play to and see what i can come up with

Would love to be cross compatible with Mac and PC. Also would love to stream the files since they are around 200MB each. I was looking at Flowplayer, but I couldn't get the bbcode quite right...

Tag name : 
flv

Code replacement:
<a 
   href="{URL}"
   style="display:block;width:425px;height:300px;" 
   id="player1">
</a>

<script language="JavaScript">
   flowplayer("player1", "/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf");
</script>

Example:
FLV:[flv]URL[/flv]

so when I put the code [flv]http://www.coursesaver.com/Chad/Dat1-1.flv[/flv] in I get an error 200 Stream not found.

Trying the changes on this page: http://www.coursesaver.com/showthrea...=3142#post3142

[sigh]

Did you ever succeed with this project? If so, how?

Thanks!

No, still nobody has a solution.

and it will play a file as large as your server can handle i believe, i stream 1Gb vids and i cant see there being a cutoff in file size if those play.

I know this thread is old but why not convert your video to flv with a good program that creates the flv and swf player for you as well as html. Then just embed the player using BB code. I host all my own videos on my forum. Works perfect in vbblog, PMs, welcome messages, and anywhere else you have access to the editor!

If your interested I will share my BB code and converter program with you:

No converting program on a PC comes close to Sothink Video Encoder!
