This is a rehash of a posting I did in a video forum where someone asked 'How to embed?'. You guys have been so helpful over the years; I thought I give some back... The How-To question was answered in a number of ways; this was mine..
Embedded Media HTML Generator
This link from the UCSF's Center for Instructional Technology has saved my ass because I would not know HTML code from Hungarian slang. I've have used their generator at least a dozen times, but today showed me something new.
I wanted to add video to an Ebay listing. I shot a small clip with a Canon HF10 .. ran it thru iMovie '09 .. made a 4MB, mp4 file.
I used the UCSF generator to make it a QT embed - because it plays as a QT in my browser, eh?. Eh-Eh - it would not test?! We Mac users tend to simply try something else; it turns out Real Media was the ticket. I don't care why - I just need it to work.
Mostly, I will go to Dreamweaver and create some sort of reference page/link to hang on one of my sites .. but I thought I'd simply dump the code in the middle of the listing to see? BINGO!
Hell, it provides audio sparkle to the listing .. and you scroll down to see where the Hell this noise is coming from...
Cool.
