How does youtube embed movies like they do? It would be nice to have this feature as part of my website for help tutorials or something like that.

I can get flash movies to play fine but I want mpgs to play with the start/stop/pause functions below.

I think youtubes videos are flash

What? Are you crazy man! YouTube is notoriously NOT Flash, Newgrounds.com is more for Flash. YouTube is live videos. I don't know how YouTube embeds them, but you can use the "embed" HTML code and that gets you the play and stop and all that jazz.

Hye man
Youtube stores videos as Flash files to easily embed them check their code for more informations, and we can download the Flash files using some 3rd party things, I have a php Script and I think there are some Mozilla Firefox addons to do that as well.

To embed them, I think youtube tells us how itself,
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Videos on YouTube are streamed through an Adobe Flash player. For the best viewing experience, we suggest you install the latest version of Adobe Flash after removing any old versions you’ve installed.

Well flash or not, he wants to embed windows that open with Windows Media Player (mpgs, avi, bla bla bla..) so the code is this:-

<object id="MediaPlayer" width="400" height="300" classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,5,715" standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject"><param name="FileName" value="[B]MOVIE PATH[/B]"><param name="AnimationatStart" value="true"><param name="TransparentatStart" value="false"><param name="AutoStart" value="true"><param name="ShowControls" value="1"><param name="ShowStatusBar" value="1"><param name="autoSize" value="false"><embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=windows&sbp=mediaplayer&ar=Media&sba=Plugin&" src="[B]MOVIE PATH AGAIN[/B]" name=MediaPlayer showcontrols=1 width=400 height=300></embed></object>
