Video Handling / embedding in web site

Hi guys,
Its been a while, i have written an article, but i am back now.Now a days most of the sites provide video tutorials / video uploading - playing facility. I have been working on video based network site since last one and hhalf year.
This session is all about handling videos on server side. I hope you would find this helpful, for basic information about video encoders / handlers.

We will split our tutorial in two part.

1) Play video in original format
2) convert video to flv (or other format) on servr side to play in custom player.
In this part we will discuss only about embedding video in web page.

#1
Embedding windows media player would be the simplest solution for this.

Here is sample code

<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240"
style="position:absolute; left:0;top:0;"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
type="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="your file or url">
<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="none">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">
</OBJECT>

You can control behaviour using parameters provided by windows media player i.e. obj.Settings.autoStart,obj.Settings.baseURL,obj.fullScreen etc.

#2. Second way is to after converting video in fllv, we can shopw that in flv player.
Many of the times i have been asked whether we can get free flash player who can play flv file.
I use our cusomized player which we have bult up our own (most of the video sites do).
But if you want to use some free flash players,
Here is one i have attached which i downloaded from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player

Thats it. You can embed video.
