How to use the video forum

[danfoley]

Hi all,

I've set up this forum to see if there's any desire to share your videos on YBW. This is not a particularly sophisticated mechanism but if you have a video to share then here's how to do it:

1. Find or upload your desired video on youtube/photobucket etc
2. Post as normal in this forum with the URL of the video e.g. http://youtube.com/watch?v=zOd-kXkBzlA in your post and any comment you'd like to make. Alternatively post the embed code which will look something like this <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i35.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid35.photobucket.com/albums/d164/Sauniere59/TurkeySept2006027.flv">
3. Watch the URL turn into a nice embedded video player (this requires us to do it manually so waiting time will vary!)

For the time being we will stick with boating videos, so please no links to unsavoury material! Each post will be moderated.

Thanks,
Dan
