Note: The <embed> element is supported by both Internet Explorer and Netscape, but it is not a standard HTML or XHTML element. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommend using the <object> element instead.

Using A Hyperlink
If a web page includes a hyperlink to a media file, most browsers will use a "helper application" to play the file:

<a href="video.avi">
Click here to play a video file
</a>

The code fraction above displays a link to an AVI file. If the user clicks on the link, the browser will launch a helper application like Windows Media Player to play the AVI file.

only that is working, the others not.

I've often had the same issue as you and have had to resort to using the Hyperlink option instead of trying to embed the video in the page. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...kinda wierd.

Does your webhost support video playback?

Try this simple script

If you are trying to use this in php-nuke, use it to make a BLOCK and then activate the BLOCK in your Admin panel. Won't work in a Message box.

Code:

<div align="center"<embed AutoStart="true" width="280" height="280" src="http://www.yoursite.com/pathto/yourvideoname.wmv" align="center"
</embed></div>

embed seems to work for me at my host.

Are you trying to put this in a PHP-Nuke site? If so, where..Like I said a second ago, if you take that code and make a block it should work. You can't just paste the html in the block Admin area, you have to use Nuke Tools
http://www.nukemods.com/modules.php?name=PHP-Nuke_Tools

So the above would look like this

Code:

<?php
#### Generated by Block Creator by Disipal Site (www.disipal.net) ###
if (eregi("block-Block_Creator.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
    Header("Location: index.php");
    die();
}
$content  .=  "<div align=\"center\"<embed AutoStart=\"true\" width=\"280\" height=\"280\" src=\"http://www.yoursite.com/pathto/yourvideoname.wmv\" align=\"center\">";
$content  .=  "</embed></div>";
?>

then save as block-Movie.php and upload to your blocks folder, then Activate that block under your Admin panel/Blocks.
