Hello,

I was going to add a .mov or .avi file on my website using dreamweaver.
I put the file in my web folder, and linked the file on a button in dreamweaver.
Then I tried uploading it through DW(approx 300mb).
Is this the right way of doing it?? or would I need to compress even more?(not sure if I can do more using After effects)
When I check on my web by clicking the link, somehow it wouldn't load up..or maybe it just takes too long to load.
Can anybody help me out on how to upload a clip file so visitors can download or play when they click the link?

Thanks in advance!

hmm okay, I guess I cant get a answer for the previous post. Let me revise my question:P
Does anyone know how people normally upload their own video file to their personal website?

Hi kerokura!
  I don't know much about Dreamweaver, but using any FTP software like (my favorite) WS_FTP should work. Just upload it like any other file. Is is possible Dreamweaver has a cap on how large of file it will upload?
  Good luck!

if you want to include the link, I'll check it out to see if it plays on my end

not that I'm an expert at it, but here's the code I used to embed a movie file I was goofing around with (uploaded the .mov file same as i would an image)

http://www.mortgagecorp.com/video/

Code:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="320" height="255" codebase=
"http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="src" value="IM000218.mpg" />
<param name="autostart " value="false" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<embed src="IM000218.mpg" width="320" height="255" autoplay="false" controller="true" pluginspace="http://quicktime.apple.com/">
</object>

hope that helps
