OT: HELP with On2FlixPro

Terry Esslinger wrote on 1/18/2008, 7:03 PM
I know this isn't the place but I could not find the place and I figuref there were a lot of people with a lot of knowledge here so...

To quote my favorite German - I know nothing... nothing about HTML programming. Thats why I bought FlixPro. I finally figured out how to get a flash video on my web site that would play in the Flix player. But to try and keep size down I tried to make the video 260 x 173 and it plays fine on my rendering computer. But when I upload the Flix files to the server (GoDaddy) and then try to play I get basically full size and of course it looks terrible. I'm sure it would loook fine if it played at the correct size. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Terry,
The first thing I'd try is tell FlixPro to output HTML during the encode process - click on the HTML tab and check the box next to "export HTML". Then imbed the generated HTML code in your page. If that doesn't work, email me via this forum (click on my name) and I'll send you a code snippet in use on my web page where my flash files play the same size as I encode.

There's a really easy way to do it:

Output .flv from Flix Pro and upload it to some place on your website.

Then go to http://freevideocoding.com/freevideocoding.com[/link], answer a few questions and voilà, it will give you the code you need to insert in your web page. You don't even need to have the player on your website. Yes you can do it the hard way, but why bother?

Tom,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Im so naive about webpages and HTML I don't really know what you mean <imbed the generated HTML code in your page> does that mean upload it to the server or does it mean to somehow place it on my designed (sort of) web page (I am using Microsoft Publisher) Please don't laugh!

Laurence,
Thanks too for your quick reply.
I will look into your method. But I was hoping after spending the $$ for FlixPro that I would not have to do a work around to get it on my site. This was a long (for me) 12 minute .avi video that I wanted to use Flash for and try to do progressive download (since GoDaddy) is not a streaming server).
