Things You'll Need:

Step 1
Format your web page first. For those who are starting from scratch, the following basic layout for a web page might be of service:
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html> -
Step 2
Place your video code. After the <BODY> tag, place the following code:
<embed src=" location of file" autostart="false" />
While copying and pasting code is simple enough for any novice web-page editor to understand, it's also important to know what you're pasting. In the first part of the code, you're explaining that you're embedding a video and where it's coming from. The <AUTOSTART> tag tells the file whether to start automatically when people open your web page. This can be changed to TRUE or FALSE. This code can also add width and height to your video by adding on the following after "autostart="false" : width="100" height ="100". Even though the example says 100 for the dimensions, it's important to remember to make the video large enough for people to see it. -
Step 3
Use video sites for your page. There are several video sites, such as YouTube, Yahoo Jumpcut and JayCut (see Resources) that provide resourceful tools to edit and distribute video. For YouTube, the embed code for video web pages can be found to the right of the video in a gray box. For Jumpcut, the video-embed code is usually found below the video. JayCut videos provide their embed code below their videos as well.
