how to include an external video

Permalink
Hello, i begin with concrete 5, and i would like to add a video to my site from another web site. They ask to put this code in my site:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="700" height="415" align="middle" id="animation1261"><param name="movie" value="http://www.explania.com/api/1.0/?method=animations.getPlayer" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess"

But i don't know how to do it. I tried to add a content block and a html block, but it's not the solution. Could you please help me?
thanks

On w3schools.com, i found this. It is and HTML5 block for adding videos.

http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_video_al...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 <body>
   <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
     <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
     <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
     Your browser does not support the video tag.
   </video>
 </body>
</html>


That should work if you can download it. You may need to use RealPlayer--http://www.real.com/realplayer/search

Please tell me if it works.

The other way is to use the iFrames add-on, but it would then show the whole web-page in the specified area. See the attachments to see how it would look.

Hi Nico,

I tried to put the 'What is Twitter?' video on my site and it worked fine,what I did:

Went in to edit mode
codied all the code for the embed:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="700" height="415" align="middle" id="animation391">
               <param name="movie" value="http://www.explania.com/api/1.0/?method=animations.getPlayer" />
               <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
               <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
               <param name="quality" value="high" />
               <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
               <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
               <param name="FlashVars" value="id=391&language=en&embedded=true&type=animation" />
               <embed src="http://www.explania.com/api/1.0/?method=animations.getPlayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" width="700" height="415" bgcolor="#ffffff" flashvars="id=391&language=en&embedded=true&type=animation"></embed>
            </object><br /><a href="http://www.explania.com/en/channels/technology/detail/what-is-twitter">What is Twitter?</a> - <a href="http://www.explania.com">Explania</a>


And placed it in a block called 'HTML'.
Works like a charm

Best,
Vincent

Hello, and first of all, many thanks for your answers. It works now, and i feel so stupid... I did not copy all the code, only the part that was visible at the screen :-(. When i take the full code, the result is much better.
Thanks again for all your comments, have a nice day!

Hi Nico,

No problem, sometimes it just take's some other eyes to see the mistake.

cheers,
