To see the flash videos on this site, your browser needs to have javascript enabled and have the
Flash browser plugin, version 7+, from Adobe. (We have not tried opensource Gnash yet, but it is a promising alternative).
Embed an Archive flash movie on your site!
Simply copy this HTML code and paste into your webpage.
(It will instruct a visitor's browser to load the shockwave plugin and then load the player we use on our site with the film of your choice.)
If your film is widescreen, try a larger width in the <object> tag (and the flash video will stretch, keeping aspect) Eg:
width="600"
(If you would like to get even more fancy and autodetect (with javascript) that the client browser has at least flash version 7+ (required for flash video) then you may also "view source" one of
our movies pages and also see our javascript for autodetecting and inserting the player.)
Expansion of the single line above so you can see the options:
Create your own flash video
When you upload your videos to the Internet Archive, we will be able to
derive a flash video format for most of the formats you give us.
This section is for those who would like to create your own flash videos.
Props to this post that Tracey found
to use opensource tools to create and embed flash video!
We use FlowPlayer shockwave to
embed Flash video files (extension .flv).
We use ffmpeg to create our flash videos. It's a
single command to create the whole file, runs quickly, and tackles nearly all source formats!
