I've been having trouble looking for the source of this. I've already made a website, all I need to do is put up videos and I have no idea how to do it. :confused: can someone help me out? Do I need to use HTML?

<embed src="filename"></embed>

That's the basics, though I haven't done a video embed in ages, so I'd have to do some research to tell you more.

The embed tag was a proprietary tag that only ever worked in some browsers and which is no longer required.

The correct tag to use to attach video is the <object> tag although you may need to nest one object tag inside a second one in order to supply the different options that IE requires from that of more standard compliant browsers.

Ohh, that's good to know. See? I haven't done a video embed since they stopped using that tag. :P
