Hi spookie,

First, a .dat file is not a standard video file. I've seen media files in the .dat format (mostly from VCDs), but you must use a standard media format that is associated with players on anyone elses PC as well.

Have a look at my reply in this post, to learn how to convert it. thread615-684554

Here's how to embed a video file in HTML:

[tt]<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>A video clip</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<EMBED SRC="video.avi" AUTOSTART="TRUE" LOOP="TRUE" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" ALIGN="CENTER">
<NOEMBED>
<A HREF="video.avi">
Click here!
</A>
</NOEMBED>
</BODY>
</HTML>
[/tt]

Good luck

Jakob
