How do I use html for video on craigslist, Ive tried everything but there is no player or video when I preveiw.

I know its the right code because it works everywhere else:
<embed src="http://freevideocoding.com/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=video&file=cubasebest_wma.wmv&autoStart=0" width="320" height="240" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>

Is it possible that craigslist just blocks out video code.

can someone please try & to put video on craigslist & tell me what you guys think.

can this problem be solved?

<embed> is a non-standard means for inserting multimedia into Web pages.

A List Apart magazine has two articles that specifically deal with how to use the <object> element (and only <object>) to insert multimedia files that will work on all modern browsers (and most older ones) while adhering to Web standards, meaning an otherwise valid (X)HTML page will not fail to validate just because you have multimedia present. Also, neither alternative uses JavaScript, so your media files will be available even if scripting has been disabled.

Bye Bye, Embed (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/byebyeembed/) (Audio and Video Files)
Flash Satay (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/) (Flash Files)

I also think CraigsList is blocking multimedia files. Wouldn't be the first site to do it.
