You can now embed video right into IT.com ! (see below)
How?
Just cut and paste the URL from YouTube into the post and Voila! It automagically converts it to a video viewer for you. Give it a whirl.
The "URL" from YouTube looks this this for example: It can actually be used with the following video providers:
YouTube, Photobucket, Streetfire, CarPixTV, Myspacetv, Google Video, Bolt, iFilm, Yahoo, Dailymotion, Amazon and MetaCafe
These can also be added if there is demand:
Works.

NOW it's working...
I post my in-car videos to my own website as .wmv files. I could embed them in posts here if you add that option and if anyone cares to see them.
(You can see them all at http://www.godoggoracing.org/gallery/v/Videos).
I have a couple of videos that are huge, like 1.2G and have no idea how to compress, edit, clip, etc. What software do I need or may already have that can perform those functions?
TIA
Yes, never post unedited videos ... they are huge and often boring.Quote:

I personally edit out the boring parts, doing a nice fade-transition between segments so you know I've done it, and I also caption the whole thing to tell a story. Extra credit would be mixing in still photos or external clips that other people take, or adding background music (though I think the music of the inline-6 is fine :-)
Please, I'd really appreciate it if you could add photobucket video. I've got an account and a couple of videos. They're also short because of the size limit on uploads, so no 3hr enduros, more like a lap or two.

EDIT: (Didn't seem to work?)
OK I misunderstood the original instructions. This will work with any hosted video sites on the list above but for .wmv to work they would have to be uploaded to IT.com. Not a viable option. However since you can upload WMV files to YouTube they can then be linked to IT.com afterwards via the method shown above.
I just added Photobucket videos and ESPN, Streetfire, CarPixTV...
Streetfire test:

CarpixTV test

Oh well. I prefer to host myself. YouTube overcompresses and has a 10 minute limit. I'll just post links.Quote:

Didn't know about that. Fascinating. Here's an article about it.Quote:

I guess google vid's aren't supported, so you have to click the link and open a new window
