Franks Cyber Cafe Video
If you're wondering how I branded the video with our logo? I actually used another program to make an overlay to embed it into the video. The program is included in the "Ultimate" video list and is mainly for the professional webmaster!

The truck video is of the latest game I've just bought. (A reminder of the Work I've done in the past!!)
NOTE: When you embed a movie video player in your webpage, it will automatically download to your web visitors as soon as they land on the page. EVEN if you did not select "autoplay". Videos act a lot like pics in this respect on the web. They want to show themselves to you as soon as you get there. Usually this auto downloading is not a detriment to your web visitors when you have just one embedded video. But when you have several embedded videos on the same page, it can be a nightmare for your web visitors. Even one huge video file downloading can make people upset. There are 100's of resources on the net for video players and marketers are selling video skins all the time. (Mostly for YouTube video's)
In fact I have now got quite a selection of skins mainly from the USA. (See: Downloads)
Difference between Downloading and Streaming Video's
X5 Evolution: It's quite easy to insert a video into Evo 8! If you have quite a few players on one page.... you will want to place links to the files rather than embed them into the page. HERE's HOW: We start off by grabbing a video player code..... insert into a HTML Box in X5 adjust the height and width to suit! Then (...this is the important part...) inside the HTML Box is a paper clip icon on the menu at the top (Far right) Click this and add your movie file and player.swf.... this will put both the files into your FILES folder on your server. All you have to do then is insert the links to the files in order for your player to work.
e.g. http://www.yourwebsite.com/files/yourmovie.flv
http://www.yourwebsite.com/files/player.swf
Upload your project and X5 will do the rest
NB: The internet today is unfortunately unsafe for the website creator? Others might try and use your video's for their own website!!
The best way is to BRAND your video's or find a program that encrypt's the HTML Code!!

Problem with Video in X5?
Above is an example of video's introduced into X5? On the Before screen.... this is what was happening with the menu's and inner popups? They were actually disappearing behind the video! Just with adding a bit of code to the video we can have the movie's sent to the back of the page.... allowing our menu's and popup's to show once again!!
