video in html

[JamesGMills]

Hi,

I am developing a system for use on plasma screen for a client to use in their reception.

Its basically run in browser using html.

My question is how do i play an video i have ripped from their company DVD from the hard drive in the browser.

Basically there is one computer that is used to run the plasma from and this is where i would put the 100MB+ video file however i need to find a way to then play this in the web page from the hard drive?

Can anyone please help?

I need to play this video from the hard drive, it is not online!

The same information should apply, but the URL will change to show the local path rather than a web path.

Negative Lee, this is not the case.

Then you're going to have to show us what you have so far so we can work with that.

odd. taken from the URL I provided, this code works perfectly for me:

<object classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" 
  id="player" width="320" height="260">
  <param name="url" 
    value="C:\retaliation.wmv" />
  <param name="src" 
    value="C:\retaliation.wmv" />
  <param name="showcontrols" value="true" />
  <param name="autostart" value="true" />
  <!--[if !IE]>-->
  <object type="video/x-ms-wmv" 
    data="C:\retaliation.wmv" 
    width="320" height="260">
    <param name="src" 
      value="C:\retaliation.wmv" />
    <param name="autostart" value="true" />
    <param name="controller" value="true" />
  </object>
  <!--<![endif]-->
</object>

I will try again tomorrow when back at work but it did not work for me on my first attempt.

I may need to rip the DVD into a few different formats and give it another shot. So far i tried with .mov and .avi

Thank you for your time, I will be back on this tomorrow.

Sorry... I have tried again this morning and I got it working, using the code above. I will have a dig around the site linked to again and have a look around.
