Autoplay video on my site

    I hope I put this the right place! :)

    I have a salespage where a video is going to convince people to buy. Now, what I need is a video that can autorun when the site is done loading; the site loads in 1/10 of a second, so half a second or maybe a second delay would be perfect. Furthermore, I don`t want it to be a Youtube video, because I dont want the frame around the video. However, I would like to have sound volume button and play/pause at the bottom (but that is not a must).
    And last but not least: I would really like if the video is clickable when finished running, so that when the buyer click on the video he or she is sent to the payment.

    Is this possible?

    Not with youtube.

    With this kind of code :
    <object width="550" height="400">
    <param name="movie" value="yourmovie.swf">
    <embed src="yourmovie.swf" width="550" height="400" autostart="true">
    </embed>
    </object>

    Do not use autoplay! It will only get your visitors to go to another site.

    If you don't want to use Youtube, you can host it yourself on your web server.
    Actually, you can use Moyea Web Player to get all these things done - http://www.playerdiy.com/

    If you want to make the video auto play, you can check this tutorial - http://www.playerdiy.com/configuration/playback/auto-play-video.html

    For the sound volume button and play/pause buttons, you can get them on the control bar from the generated FLV player of Moyea Web Player, which has play, pause, volume track, full screen and playlist button by default on the control bar.

    The last thing, if you want the video to be clickable and redirect to a new web page when it reaches its end, you can do this in the "Settings" tab (see the red broder area of the screenshot below)

    And the skin of the web player can be easily cusomized, this is example - http://www.playerdiy.com/support/tutorial/customize-flash-video-player.html

    Hey, lurifaxur.

    I know exactly what you're talking about.

    What you need is camtasia. You can put a payment button on the video and after click, the buyer is taken to paypal or whatever..

    You can of course use auto play, but I wouldn't recommend it on a sales page...
    It's ok though, if it is a sign-up page for lead generation.
    But you wouldn't put a pay now button on the video then, right?! :)

    @ seojohnrich
    Sure. Just Google "WordPress Video Plugin" and you'll find something good...
    Sorry, for not being more specific, but your question is a little broad right?!

    If you want a decent videoquality, encode to mp4.
