    How do I stream video from my website? I've read some sites, but they left me kind of confused. Is there a step by step tutorial available?

    I have some .wmv and .mpg files that I would like to stream. Do I have to embed the windows media player in the page, or can I get it to where they click on the video and it opens in a new window?

    If you are looking for it to open in a new window, just put the link of the video on the page, and it will open up in that person's media player. Embedding really is only useful for putting video on a page with some sort of other content.

    USe an embedded player, OR some hosts gives an option to automatically converts the mpg files into flv streaming.. Such as dreamhost did i think.. you can get flash flv players easily on searching

    For a new window, you need to embed the player in a new page and place a link on current page with target="_blank" attribute.

    If you would like to go with WMV then you might use WMS (Windows Media Services) or IIS MS (Media Services).

    Hey,

    Does anyone know of good free solutions to embedding video into sites? I need to put video into a sales page.

    I'v been trying to do it with the JW Player and SWObject 2 but can't get it to work...any ideas?

    Thanx

    The simple way is to use JWPLAYER which is flash based player. Now they support html 5 video player. Very useful for iPad/iPhone users. Check their tutorial, use sample file will help.
