For a lack of knowing what part i should really put this in, i'll just pop it here. (was gonna put it in official business, but I dont have the high enough rank to do that  )Since a few of you have a bit of a hassle "embedding" (not INbedding Wolf ) videos on the forum, i thought i'd waste a little bit of time doing a 101 on it.  the basics of any embedding in this forum is easy usually and places like u-tube make it a lot simperer, the basis of it is
Video source - It it the actual location within the internet that it is located, and it is not always the link at the top of your page. E.G. Youtube, uses their link as their source, so it is a lot easier to embed since all you need is their link
In the code is just the link at the top of the page. Places like gamespot and gametrailers DO NOT use their video source as their video link, so just putting the link of the video within the flash code will not work. You have to find the video source within the embed code itself, usually it's not too hard. <div style="width: 480px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="480" height="392"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=60912"/><param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=60912" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="392"></embed> </object><div style="font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana; text-align: center; width: 480px; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; background-color: black; height: 32px;"><div><a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.gametrailers.com" title="GameTrailers.com">Video Games</a> | <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.gametrailers.com/game/aliens-vs-predator/10843" title="Aliens vs Predator">Aliens vs Predator</a> | <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.gametrailers.com/video/uk-kill-aliens-vs/60912" title="UK Kill Moves Trailer">UK Kill Moves Trailer</a></div><div style="padding-top: 3px;"><a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://xbox360.gametrailers.com/" title="XBox 360">XBox 360</a> | <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://ps3.gametrailers.com/" title="PS3">Playstation 3</a> | <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://wii.gametrailers.com/" title="Wii">Nintendo Wii</a></div></div></div> That in short is Gametrailers own embed code - Now that's one hell of a mess, but you need 2 things out of it (which i've put in bold). The first being the width and length, which is the first part of the flash code that OSG uses, and determines the size that the video will show. The second part is the Video SOURCE, look through till you find the first SRC, that is the source link, copy that link and copy that into your flash code as specified above. For this specific video it is http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=60912 Just for reference the "link" to the video is http://www.gametrailers.com/video/uk-kill-aliens-vs/60912 It IS NOT what your after (Blitz - Check them in what you tried to embed, that is the mistake you did) EG.
That is what you should have. I hope that's understandable as i was in a little of a rush when i did this up, so it could've been neater. To see what's in the CODE sections, you'll have to highlight it, as the writing is white (till hiss fixes it up). Questions? Edited by NecrisTEWQ, Tuesday Jan 19 2010, 03:17 PM.

I understand now Necris, Thank You Essentially Wolf what your doing is when you find a video you want to put on the forum, look for the embeded section like illustrated in Step 1.  Highlight all that link and paste it somewhere where you can see all the mess, so you can filter out the key points indicated in Step 2.  Use those figures when posting a flash link like in Step 3.  Woolah, the video should work Edited by SSBLITZ BLACK, Tuesday Jan 19 2010, 04:38 PM.

You have the wrong part circled blitz, read the link you highlighted, then read the code in the next pic the links are different  Go 7 lines up from where you have circled and you'll be at the correct place. Your after the "src" which is the source, not the Href, which is the hyperlink reference. but other than that, your correct. Edited by NecrisTEWQ, Tuesday Jan 19 2010, 04:24 PM.
