How to Post a Movie?

Post by Sally » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:41 pm

A friend sent me the cutest video of her pile of handfeds, but I can't figure out how to post it here. It is a mov extension, or type. Do movies have to be posted on something like YouTube, and then linked?

I believe they need to be hosted on a site like YouTube and then link here - yes; although you might be able to 'embed' the video here from YouTube as well.

Test-
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="h ... ></iframe>

Test 2-

Test 3-
<iframe width="1280" height="720" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BD1XfGed83c?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Nope, sorry - I don't know how to embed - only copy/paste the YT link.

Thanks Liz. I'll check with my friend tomorrow. She sent it to me as a movie, so she may not want it uploaded to YouTube. She has 11 handfeds in a pile--Gouldians, Shaft-tails, and Societies. And she has another 3 older ones she is handfeeding.

Thanks, cindy, I'll check with my friend and make sure it is OK with her. It only lasts for a few seconds, so I don't think it is a large file.
