Help w/ installing a movie on a website
 

Okay, im trying to install this movie (a small clip a friend made) into a website of mine. The movie is FLV type, and needs a FLV player.
I dont really care what it looks like once its on the site, even if its just a box that the movie is in.
I have full FTP and the site is a rented one. (not free :p )

The player can be found here
And the movie can be found here

Any help would be awesome, even saying it cant be done (if that is true) would be good too.
Thank you,
Twin

I have a FLV player as well. I know you have to make a embeddedcode I just dont know how. Try uploading it on youtube and doing that.

It'd probably be better to convert it to .avi, .mov or .wmv. They're the most used.

Cant you still upload .flv on youtube though???

Im sorry guys, im still a little new to the internet and stuff, I dont know how to convert stuff. :uhm:
And the youtube thing is a good idea, i think ill to that if i can, but it still would be nice to know how to get this kind of thing to work.

I'd recommend getting it converted to .avi or something, since even if you used a normal embedded player, most visitors wouldn't have the player installed to view it. Windows Media Player is integrated by default on Windows systems, and that supports .avi and .wmv.

Okay, so how do I convert it? (Xilisoft Video Converter does not work :( )

ok, guess what. after 2 hours of looking through stuff, i found out you cant unconvert FLV :bawl:

I think YouTube.com supports .flv

After 5 minutes of searching, I found the following tools which should be capable:

• Super
• Riva FLV Encoder
• Total Video Converter

I haven't tried them, but they should work. Super seems to be the most efficient.

Nope :(

I tryed the super one... didnt work. =/
I think it may just be the file. :bawl:
/me thinks: yes! my plan to get some1 to take 5 mins to give me a list of good players worked!!! :giggle:
