Deliver MP3 files in an Embedded Player

When posting an MP3 file with FreeVideoCoding.com, first choose the player you want. (Hint: Only Windows, Quicktime and Real can play .mp3 files. In other words, don't choose Flash player to play mp3 files.)
2. Then enter the url of your MP3 file.
3. Choose "Embed the player"
4. Choose a player size (320x0, 240x0, or 160x0)
5. Choose "yes" or "no" for "AUTOPLAY" option.
6. Choose "yes" for "DISPLAY CONTROLS?".

MP3 embedded with Windows player (320x0 size) using FreeVideoCoding.com.
NOTE: Your browser determines which player you actually see. Even though I chose to post using a Windows player, YOU may actually seeing right now a quicktime player ot real player. YOUR browser determines which player you see. So, I recommend choosing Windows player because it's frame is largest of the three types of players.

Vpip (video playing in place) option

Video Playing In Place. On FreeVideoCoding.com
this feature is called "Link to embedded player (with image)". But the web is buzzing about what they are calling "Vpip." Link to Embedded Player (with image) (or Vpip) is THE OPTIMAL WAY TO POST MULTIPLE VIDEOS embedded in players ON THE SAME PAGE and with pages containing one video over 3MB in file size.

Here's are 4 examples of the Vpip effect using FreeVideoCoding.com

Flash (swf) format:
FreeVideoCoding.com


Real format:
FreeVideoCoding.com


Windows (wmv):
FreeVideoCoding.com


Quicktime (mov):
FreeVideoCoding.com


USER TIPS:
1. Always choose "autostart" option with this feature to ensure happy web visitors. Your video will autostart immediately after clicking the image.

2. Link back to FreeVideoCoding.com is an optional feature. You can choose to NOT display the link back to FreeVideoCoding.com but it would be very if you did.

That's a wrap!

NOTE: When you embed a WMV 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 onteh same page, it can be a nightmare for your web visitors. Even one huge video file downloading can make people upset.

Embed WMV VIDEO file using "Link to Embedded Player"

When you use "Link to Embedded Player" feature in FreeVideoCoding.com, the image that you link to your player will be automatically resized to fit your selected embedded player's size (ie: 320x240).

See three examples that link to to an embedded player at weblink below - all samples use the same image and wmv video file, but each one is displayed as a different size.

"Link to Embedded Player" feature incorporates java scripting in it's generated html. And some free website services (like Blogger.com) don't allow javascripting. To see working samples of "Link to Embedded Player with Image" feature, visit this page on my personal website.

FVC uses _javascript to make your linking image the same size as your player (ie: 320x240) so that your website contents don't shift when video is played.
