What did you use to get that to play, Double D? I tried all of the options and got nothing.

Okay, here's how you find those things.

On the original website I looked for a link or  embed code.  Didn't see that.  Moved my cursor around on the screen and to find any active links and popups. Whatch you cursor as you move  around.  It will change when you go over a link of some sort.  In the bottom right corner is little symbol; a sidways looking V with dots.  With the cursor over over that symbol a little popup says email or embed.  Click on it.  Another pop window opens.  

This pop up window has three tabs and one of the tabs say embed.  Click on the tab that says embed and copy the code that comes up and paste it on a new  line in the reply window.

<embed src="http://blip.tv/play/AYGhpCcC" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="299" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

Now hit preview and see if the code is formatted for our board.  As you can see above it is not in the right format.  But the clues are ther to get it posted

Two things stand out.  First in the middle of the code is "application/x-shockwave-flash" that tells me which play the link is played in.  We have a flash player. In the middle row of icons above the reply window is the player Icons. Move your cursor over thes icons and a little pop up tellls you what the are.  The first one on the left that looks like this   says flash.  Thats the one we need.

If you look back to the preview window you will also see the URL of the video http://blip.tv/play/AYGhpCcC highlighted in the line of code.

Copy that and delete all the rest of the code.

Now highlight the url  and click on the and you will end up with aline ocod that looks like this:

Code: [Select]

[flash=200,200]http://blip.tv/play/AYGhpCcC[/flash]
This code will make a video player that looks like this.

You can change the size by changing the numbers in the code flash=200,200 to a larger number like flash=500,500.  I don't know if the board software limits size on videos but I would suggest no larger than 560.  You have to change bot numbers. one is for height and one is for width.

Wow!  Thanks fro the short tutorial, Double D.  That will be helpful.

 I didn't try the flash, I did try Realplayer, quicktime, googlevideo, and even the youtube.

Real nice video.  I recommend watching it via the link, since you can make it full screen (it has enough resolution to make this worthwhile).  Thanks for posting it!
