Guest javier04 Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Hi all. I am designing a website wich uses Windows media Player 9 technology to embed videos in my html pages. So far so Good. I have successfully embedded videos in my website using and object and creating a playlist for the videos. My question is the following.I recently notice on ESPN.com website that they use embedded video as well. However, tehy're doing something that really impressed me. They are using thumbnail videos with an ENLARGE BUTTON. The curios thing is that you can play the thumbnailed video and if you press ENLARGE VIDEO, the video zooms in woth the same streaming and timing, i.e., the enlarged form of the video does not refresh, but continues the video sequence as you zoom in and out back and forth. I first thought that it was just 2 different videos, 1 small (thumbnail) and one large. But that's very unlikey because like I said before, the stream is the same. I am almost sure that they use a DHTML i-layer for the pop up of the enlarge video version, but that's about it.I want to know how do you get to play resized vrsion of the same video while allowing the user to enlarge the same stream of the video?

Il Capo Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 watch the legal status of imbeded video in html using windows media 9 or any other. there is a case in usa trying to get it so that video players load outside the base html page.you could have to re do all your work to comply.
