How about using an existing free player like this: Flowplayer | Flash Video Player for the Web

hi but how do i use it to display videos stored on the database

__________________

and i want the player to be able to red WAV videos

do u have video stored as BLOBs in a MySQL table? If that is the case, I have no idea on how to implement what you want to achieve.

i have videos stored as LINKS

I don't think this is possable in PHP. If your using flash to play the video try looking into Actionscript video functions.

Please look into FFmpeg

php ffmpeg - Google Search

Proved me wrong =)

lol i dont know how to prove u something but
is there a way to do it
bcz i wanna the WAV videos and other videos format to be working using a nice player

If the encoded FLVs have the correct meta tags attached then Flash can extract the time information with ease. Otherwise you'll have to pass in the time information via an embed parameter.

I got FFMPEG, it's a bunch of C Source Files.

thanks guys , but what i need is a player to show videos
like youtube
i put the link of the wmv video

You want to allow to upload videos into a player? You need a codec, otherwise you have to edit every video you want in flash for the player.

yeah how to use that codec ?

You need to convert the videos to the flv format, this flv file contains metadata like the duration. You can convert the videos using FFmpeg.
Then use a flash player to play the flv video.

Most interesting is if someone in this great community has also experience with FFmpeg?

I am currently downloading and installing ffmpeg on windows, as we speak.

I'll hopefully have a lot of experience when I complete this client project. :)

Another interesting topic to mention is, ffmpeg is opensource, but on an commercial level the company On2 is offering a much better codec, you will see the diferrence on the quality of the motion picture. That is just my experience.
