How can I embed streaming video on HTML page?
Most streaming video (e.g. Youtube) are actually flash video, you would need to convert your avi, mpeg files into FLV file format first, then use a flash player to play it online. You can try this Flash video player software video.a4desk which automatically converts your video and allow you to choose a few video player designs. However, you need to keep in mind video uses a lot more bandwidth than images, so you need to ensure your hosting plan supports that and if you need to change your hosting plan to support that.
If you want to embed youtube videos, for instance, I think all you have to do is include the <object> tag in your HTML file. When you are watching a youtube video on the right side there is an "embed" box which includes the html to put on your site. I think you can copy it and paste it and it should work.
Right now you need flash. But with the new HTML 3 standard, you can embed video directly into a website without flash. Unfortunately i think the only engine that supports it right now is safari so it wont show up on firefox.
hmmm, i think he wants to stream live video on html? if thats the case. you might need a service, to host that. i really don't know but that would be interesting to do though.
