| Bradders,
Problem with video is the pure size of the Mpeg or AVI file. A decent quality (i.e. in terms of resolution) 90 second video clip can be in excess of 14Mb depending on the Video Codec used. For that you'd need a good chunk of webspace (far and above that offered FOC by most ISP's with your normal monthly fee).
If you have webspace sorted then it's pretty easy to post the link to the video location.
You need to use the correct BB code definitions to get the link to work and thus allow people to download the video clip.
The attachment is an example of what you need to type into your thread text. Wherever you type that BB code is where the hyperlink to your video file will appear
Once people click on the hyperlink in your posted thread, they'll get the standard Microsoft download box asking them where tthey want to save the file/video.
After they've downloaded it they should be able to play the video in the relevant software (i.e. Windows Media Player, RealOne or Quicktime).
Only problem they may have is if like I have done in the past, you used a special codec to form your video file and people who download it DON'T have the same codec on their PC's. In that case all they'll get is sound and no video until they can get hold of the codec.
Hope this helps. Should get you started.......
P.S. the other and perhaps more simple way might be to just use the 'attachment' box that appears when you type a thread onto the board and point it to the locaiton on your C: Drive where you've stored you video and pick the video filename as your 'attached' file (as I have done below). Never tried it with video but might work.  |
