Hi, I have avi movie which are not youtube videos or anything, they are my experimental movies saved as avi format. I want to add them to my web page. How do I embed them? I have tried embed with height width and src attributes but it does not play on the web page. Thanks, Sanchari

if you want to learn to do it the 'right' way, snag the miro video converter or another converter & get them into ogg, mp4, webm. then use the html5 video tag. You can use videojs to build a great-looking custom player.
Cheers, Alex
