Embedded Video Test

I started with a 64Mb mpg file and loaded intoPinnacle Studio 9. From there I exported it as a wmv with a custom setting of ISDN 128Kbs which created a 3.6Mb file. I then used the site at http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step1.php to generate the html code to embed the video.

The quality is acceptable and could be better if I chose to encode with a larger file size. As it is, 3.6Mb for over 5 minutes isn’t bad.
There are probably many simpler ways to do this (feel free to let me know) but this worked for me.

    Brilliant Andy Thanks. Pinnacle is playing up on my computer but have finally managed to get the video on the blog.

    Hi Andy,
    It looks good here, do you know if the player is avalible outside of wordpress?

    I should have made it clear that the site generates html code that can be embedded in any web page.

    When you run the embedded video test, the video window disappears and I eventually found it by scrolling down to the bottom of the page. Very clever stuff.
