Video

I have a video file named, MVI_0962.avi
I uploaded this file to the site,
I need href code to run this file.

I put in <a href="MVI_0962.avi"">Run Video</a>
When I run this, it starts downloading the file then, running
it real player. I there any code (like embed, or any other)
just to run it on the site, instead downloading to local drive.

Need code help please. Thank you,

You can embed Real Player or MS Media Player in to web pages using ActiveX but this is MS proprietary code so it won't work across all browsers. Your best bet is to encode the video in to Flash video format (FLV) and then use a Flash player to stream the video, such as YouTube & Google do.

Alternatively, you could just upload the thing to YT and link to it and done. That's the simplest method!

On that note, does anyone have any suggestions for on-the-fly flash video encoders? I need to put something like this into my company website, but I've been stalling and putting a bunch of ajax functions on the site instead. Great functionality, but sooner or later my company is going to figure out that I haven't done the video thing yet!
