Embed media and audio files

[williamrouse]

I searched the site, but could not find any notes on embedding media in a HTML or PHP file. Can someone point me to a site with some clear instructions to embedding a video player and also just an audio player?

Thanks!

However, I don't claim to be an expert and embedding audio and video can be difficult; there are so many formats requiring slightly different code and different solutions. I just know what works for me.

 

Most of the big sites like YouTube use an object tag with a nested embed tag even though the embed tag is deprecated and doesn't validate as the embed tag is needed for older browsers. Code which validates can be done without the embed tag for modern browsers only.

Thanks! On the first reading pass, I found what I needed, non the less, that is a bookmark page for me.

That's a nice flash demo Wickham! As fun as my nodes.

Both the nodes and Flash demos are titillating.
