Embedding video...
 

I'm a water rat, so I go first to the Water forum .. and someone posted a question about embedding their videos. As a Mac user since the mid-80's, I thought I share this with some of my brothers over here too. I seem to learn-by-accident daily and this accident did not end in a crash.

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. The following is a paste of that posting in the other section..

"Just an update to that UCSF link I posted... 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, 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 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."
