Hi there,

I have started a new wordpress blog and I want to add flash videos to me posts. I upload using FTP due to the videos being around 20mb in size each. How do I add these to a post?

When I use the add video by URL option it simply links to the video in a new full screen window with no options for pause, play, volume ect, please help.

Any help on this?

20 MB ?
Is this the Lord of the Rings series?

Just uploading a file is one thing. You need a player to embed it such as http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/kimili-flash-embed/ or search plugins http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=flash.

there is a jw-player plugin you can use

You need the embedded HTML, if you have a look at some Youtube videos, they show you how to embed the flash in an HTML page

WP have's a embedded player. You can find it's icon in new post/page form page.
Also you can use plugins for WP such a Viper Quicktags

try this:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flv-embed/

I use it on all of my sites and it works like a champ. You just install the plug in then use the tags in your post.

I tried A TON of different players before I found this one and compared to the others I really like it. PM me if you have any questions.

You need a embedded player ,google or yahoo both have these tools,
