Inserting videos

In this article I will show you the various ways to include videos in your posts…

Outsource

The first method consists in stocking videos on a remote server such as youtube, dailymotion or bliptv, and then copy and paste the embed code included in the article’s html code.

Pros are:
- Media is stored in the provider’s computers, not yours (no space waste)
- Higher transfer speed (less time waste)
- User-friendly player (usability)

And the con is: webusers can watch your videos without visiting you blog…

Blog storage

The other method is to upload and save videos in your blog. About this, have a look at the settings you’ll need to make in order to upload media.

Windows and quicktime formats are readily readable using wordpress’ integrated player. On this subject, read about autostart. wmv video example in this blog

The more user-friendly flv format will need the installation of a plugin. flv video example

Remark:
You can’t see videos while you’re editing your article, and it’s perfectly normal!

    En utilisant effectivement un tableau html, ça doit marcher. Peut être passer en mode html pour faire ça à la main.

    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>embed video</td>
    <td>embed video</td>
    <td>embed video</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>embed video</td>
    <td>embed video</td>
    <td>embed video</td>
    </tr>
    </table>

About this post

  • About this weblog

    "WordPress From the beginning" is written by a French web developer and teacher currently based in Switzerland.

    Originally planned in french, both blog and its functions were developped in this language. This explains why not all functions are available in the English version.

    However, new translated articles are regularly posted for use by the wordpress' web community.
