http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/

here u can generate the embed code for what ever format you want . it will generate entire code but you will need to put code only between

html generator gave me this code:

<!– begin embedded Flash file… –>
<table border=’0′ cellpadding=’0′ align=”center”>
<tr><td>
<OBJECT classid=’clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000′
codebase=’http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0′
width=”500″ height=”290″>
<param name=’movie’ value=”http://pr-video.at/images/stories/videos/jacko.flv”>
<param name=’quality’ value=”high”>
<param name=’bgcolor’ value=’#FFFFFF’>
<param name=’loop’ value=”false”>
<EMBED src=”http://pr-video.at/images/stories/videos/jacko.flv” quality=’high’ bgcolor=’#FFFFFF’ width=”500″
height=”290″ loop=”false” type=’application/x-shockwave-flash’
pluginspage=’http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash’>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</td></tr>
<!– …end embedded Flash file –>
</table>

i put the part that you suggested in the custom module on position user5:

<div class=”ja-box-ct clearfix” style=”text-align:center”>
<object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ width=”500″ height=”280″ codebase=”http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0″>
<param name=”movie” value=”http://pr-video.at/images/stories/videos/jacko.flv” />
<param name=”quality” value=”high” />
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”#FFFFFF” />
<param name=”loop” value=”false” /> <embed type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”500″ height=”280″ src=”http://pr-video.at/images/stories/videos/jacko.flv” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#FFFFFF” loop=”false” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash”></embed>
</object>
</div>

but there is only a white box in position user5, no video. what did i do wrong?

Hi…
you cannot directly play a FLV file. For that you will need to embed code to the FLV player to run it! FLV wont run without the player.

secondly check this link – http://utils.exeter.ac.uk/webct/flashplayers/flvplayer.php
they embed code with their flv player to run your flv video which you could embed they also generate a linkback. Hence if you do not want that, then search for FLASH FLV Player in that search for HTML embedded FLV player and you should be able to get the video online

if you want to know about embedding FLV this is a good article – http://forum.videohelp.com/topic315188.html
