:confused: anymore suggestions?

MP3 is a music format, not a video format.
Sorry DJ, I misread the original post, I’ll delete my other post as it isn’t helpful. Sorry, my fault.
uhm.. here’s an example for the music video I wanna put 2 my site.. http://www.geocities.com/ehm_khaye/scratch.html
i was wonderin how’d it upload in geocities….maybe it used a link, but im confused.. lol! I saw the html of it.. but since I dont know how 2 read html’s that much I still cant figure out how 2 put it in my site..:ohmm…you could get another free site that allows you to upload things to their server. then, on your geosites site, you can have a link to it.
this is the line of html you’re looking for…

EnableContextMenu=”0″ DisplaySize=”0″ pluginspage=”http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/”>they used it as an ASX file, not a traditional MPEG or AVI, and they linked directly from the VH1 site… they didnt use their own video file, they didnt upload it to geocities or anywhere else. for all I know, its not even legally allowed to be on that site (i’d think its some sort of infringement on VH1’s rights)
if you still want to have a music video on your site, follow camster’s post abovei just wanna have it in my site, so that pipol visitin it wont get bored somehow..:) ok! ok! topic close…
It’s not worth the issues you’ll get with bandwith usage and legality, trust me… try a picture slideshow? =)
Do you really think visitors would be willing to download a 32MB video? For those on dail-up this would take hours, and it’s a bit much for high-speed users as well. Sites that host video files usually stream them from a highly compressed format. If you re-encoded your video down to a reasonable size, it might be worthwhile putting it on your site. Try Windows Media Encoder to accomplish this fairly easily.
