How to embed a video

  1. Make sure your video is tiny (a couple megs).
  2. Upload to YouTube
  3. Wait….. Wait…. Wait… for it to process and appear on the site
  4. Copy the text for an embedded video from the page
  5. Paste it verbatim into your blog

Here is my first attempt. The controversial Quattromat in action.


So post some video people. (I encourage you).

...and not scripted by three guys pretending to be her ;)

My wife has had bad luck posting to youtube… vimeo.com has worked much better, and we're not sure why?

LJTV here we come!

Giz - weve either just got the ball rolling (before all the G&G table excitement) or we've exhausted this at great length, and/or have pretty much planned out Martin's (and hopefully a bunch of our) futures bringing woodworking to the masses.

of course it took me so long to go back and find this link, I see that I've hardly been keeping up at all!

I've enabled some html codes in the posts recently. The reason was easier and more straightforward embedding of pictures and videos from other sites. It will be described in the 2 new guides. Basically you just need to copy paste html sharing code provided on these sites when you upload your photo or video.

Great video test, Giz.. Just for your information, Photobucket has recently added video hosting and when you copy-paste their code the video will be playable directly in your post using their embeddable flash player - pretty cool.

I think the YouTube looks better (without the play button etc… on the picture itself like with photobucket), but we still can't figure out why we can't get anything successfully posted to youtube.

Our digital camera also takes movies - with sound and no time limit! (was 20 seconds on the old camera) which has resulted in movies going into the range of hundreds of Megs. Opening and trimming a little in iMovie lets us save for web in (what is supposed to be) a Youtube friendly format. I think we'll have to try again, otherwise Photobucket it is… any other adivce in the meantime?

I'm getting the itch to post video too!

It takes a really long time for files under 2MB, seems to be complete (or never finishes uploading perhaps), (wife doesn't remember exactly) yet the same files work at photobucket no prob. ?

with her lack of success I've been loathe to try, figured was a prob with youtube, the file format or sunspots and gnomes. Encouraged by your success though, shall try. What file format/settings do you post? Quicktime, Mpeg, or ???
