Help Me Put Video On My Website

There are also those who like me, who just want video on my website to be able to show family and friends the holiday video or the kids soccer game.

Whatever the reasons you have for wanting to put video on a website, the problem for the average person is that uploading video on to a website can be very technical. I mean it’s easy to shoot the video with your camcorder or camera, but when it comes time to upload it to your website or blog, you can run into all kinds of issues.

The main problem being that the file (avi, .mpg, .wmv, etc.) is usually very large and the site you are trying to upload to won’t be able to accept it. Another problem is losing the quality of your video when you try to make the file smaller. Also, some websites require some knowledge of HTML code to be able to upload to their site.

So what I have learned is that if I want to put video on my website I should first convert the video to flash in order for it to play easily for my audience regardless of what site blog or e-mail I am trying to upload my video to.
