Using Videos on my website

hdrechsel18 wrote on 1/8/2016, 2:57 PM

Hi - I'm new to this; I purchased Xara Web Designer 10 Premium several months ago. Other than poking around and learning how to use it, I haven't done anything with it yet. I bought it to post my videos as an alternative to YouTube or Facebook, etc. But my videos are quite large (8-10 gig), so I'm sure I don't have the space. But I understand you can point the link to the video on your PC - is that correct? Is there a security issue with doing this? Sorry - I'm not very tech orientated...just enough to do what I need. Wondering what you guys thought.

Thanks in advance, Harry D.

You do not want to do this - your ISP will probably slap you with excessive charges or even block you for unfair usage of their bandwidth, not to mention that everytime your ISP changes you computers IP address you will lose the video on the web.

You need to edit your videos down using a program like Movie Edit Pro and export to mp4 and have ogv and webm versions available, via converter - Iuse MovAvi Video Converter for mine,  to cover the maximum number of devices possible.

I would suggest you search the Internet for how to add video to your web site - there are many tutorials available.

Thank you - I was doing things all backwards. I found the YouTube widget, and realized I could link to my uploads at YouTube - which solves my problem. Learnig - thanks for redirecting me & the help.
