Video and Audio
Embedding Video and Audio files in your website is a quick and easy way to encourage visitors to return to your site again and again.
There are a number of ways that you can embed a video or audio file in your website, depending on what type of file you have. If you have a file in a format not mentioned here, please contact support@cubik.co.uk and we will be able to advise.
If you are adding a YouTube video, you can skip straight to the instructions below. For any of the other file types, you will first need to upload the file into the Resource Gallery.
Information on uploading files can be found here.
WMV VideosUsing a WMV file is an excellent way to get file sizes down to reasonable levels while retaining high quality video. However, the Windows Media player plugin is needed to view these videos.
FLV VideosFLV is a format that is designed for web playback, and uses Adobe Flash Player. This is a popular format because there is no need for a 3rd party download such as Windows Media Player, the FLV player is built in to OneStopCMS.
YouTube VideosMany users of the OneStopCMS solution take advantage of the free video hosting service provided by YouTube.
MP3 and WMA AudioEmbedding an audio file in your site works in the same way as embedding a video file. The Windows Media player plug-in is required to play the audio files.
Video Types and ConversionNumerous video types are supported by OneStopCMS. A question often asked is 'Which format is best when considering criteria such as compatability, file size and video quality?'
