I'm unclear on the third (which is actually the first one listed). also that h.264 streamer is only free for noncommercial uses, it must be licensed for business use. as an example, to use the jwplayer, you'd need this html on your webpage... <script type="text/javascript" src="/jwplayer/jwplayer.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript">jwplayer.key="YOUR_JWPLAYER_LICENSE_KEY";</script> <div id='player_3790'></div> <script type='text/javascript'> jwplayer('player_3790').setup({ file: "http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/3XnJSIm4-kNspJqnJ.mp4", width: "480", height: "270", image: "http://content.bitsontherun.com/thumbs/3XnJSIm4-640.jpg", }); </script> where those last two URL's are your site/path/filenames... -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
