Question Posted Thursday March 1 2007, 8:50 pm

Ok well I just uploaded a video on my computer form my camera and I want to put it on a player to put in my site to show people but I need your advice: YouTube, or those regular blue-ish players? Or others that you can suggest?

I like the blueish that looks like the Media Player because it looks nice but you can right click it and get the url source and I don't want people to steal the video, it can only be on my site.

Youtube has that preventing from stealing thing on their player but like videos on it are like stretched and give it the blurry look but it portects the vid form anyone stealing it. But people could also download it with a FIV player or go to that youtube page, take it, and put it on their site.

Help!

The blue players *are* windows media player. The player is embedded into the page. Most people prefer youtube and other flash players because they're less buggy. Also, someone without windows media player installed(linux and mac users, for example) can't play it. If you want to embed windows media player, use this code:

<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240"
style="position:relative; left:0;top:0;"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
type="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="file location">
<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="full">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">
</OBJECT>

Near the top it says position:relative; left:0;top:0. Change this to move it around, it's measured in pixels. 0,0 is where it would normally be. Change position:relative; to position:absolute; if you want it from the top left of the entire page instead.

You should note that you can steal videos from an embedded windows media video, I actually think it's easier than a flash player.
