Embed FLV Videos without Using YouTube

If you are looking for a fast and easy way (limited frills involved) to embed your FLV video without using YouTube, I would recommend you to check out this blog post by Treble Click.

Here's a summary of the steps involved.

  1. Get an FLV video player

    A FLV video player helps you control your FLV video (i.e. play, pause, stop, etc). There are many players out there, but I recommend OS FLV Player, because it is open source, straightforward, and easy to use.
    The download package includes the source codes and many other files, but at this point in time, we shall concern ourselves this with only the player.swf file. Upload this file into your server.

  2. Embed the player and the video

<object width="[Width of your video]" height="[Height of your video]" id="flvPlayer">
<param name="movie" value="
[Absolute path to player.swf]" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="&movie=
[Absolute path to your .FLV video]">
<embed src="
[Absolute path to player.swf]" flashvars="&movie=[Absolute path to your .FLV video]" width="[Width of your video]" height="[Height of your video]" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> </embed>
</object>
