How To Add Flash Video To Website Adding Video to website is becoming more and more common on personal, corporate websites and marketing emails.
Before you add a video file to your website, it's important to understand that video files are different from images and graphics (JPG/GIF/BMP) --- a single video file can take up hundres of MB (or even GB) of your web server storage space. And everytime a visitor come to your website to view the movie, they will be taking up a signification amount of your allocated bandwidth. It was reported that Youtube was spending Millions of US dollars everymonth on bandwidth cost alone! Of course this is not a problem for them as they are now a Google Company. However for most business, you still need to control your bandwidth cost carefully. For videos and movie files you do not mind sharing and showing watermarks, you can simply host the video files on Youtube, Yahoo or Google all provide video and movie sharing tools. All you need to do is upload your movie file to their website, then copy and paste the HTML code to add video to your website.
An alternative solution is to use a flash video player software, which can automatically convert your windows media file (wmv, or avi) into .FLV file for streaming, and allows you to easily embed your video to your existing website or email message, using a a pre-designed video player template with ready to use HTML code.

Firstly, do not embed your WMV, AVI or MPG movie files directly to your web page. You should convert your movie file into a streaming movie file format. This way your visitors can watch the movie while it is getting downloaded (otherwise they have to wait and can't see anything before the video file is fully downloaded, and people usually just go elsewhere). As of today, the most popular and commonly used online movie file format for website is the Flash FLV video format. There are several reasons why Flash FLV is the best choice for adding movie to your website: 1. Flash Player is supported by 90% or more browsers, more than any other player. Flash works on Windows, Linux. MacOS. And flash works in all types of browser including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. In contrast, your WMV video file can only work on MS-Windows using MSIE. While you can embed a Windows Media Player into your website. However it is an ActiveX component which cannot be supported by all browser, and the movie loading speed is very slow. 2. Flash Stream video is the leading format using by video websites such as YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo video etc. Once you have your .wmv , .mpeg, .avi, .mov video converted into Flash format, you can use them on your own website, as well as sharing them on those video websites anytime. 3. Flash FLV does video streaming automatically -- there is no need for any special processing of the file. All you need is a flash video player component or template, and the FLV file will play in streaming mode automatically. 4. Developers will have more control over the presentation of Flash video files -- video editing can be done using Adobe's Flash product, you can design your own player user interface. There are freeware and shareware flash video software you can use without buying Adobe Flash, and without learning any flash programming. A flash video player software can automatically convert your windows media file (wmv, or avi) into .FLV file for streaming, and allows you to easily embed your video into a pre-designed video player template.
