Embedding Windows Media Compliant
Files (.mp3, .wmv, .asf, .mpg, .avi) - Movies
and Audio
On the next slide is the basic code you will
need to put in your placemark description
windows (Create a placemark, or get
'Properties'' of an existing placemark). There
are only a few things you need to change to
get it to work, but you can fiddle with some
of the <param> functions too if you wish. The
red text items are the only things you need to
change while the lavendar ones are optional.!
If you have multimedia in a non Windows
Media recognized format, like Quicktime or
RealPlayer, the conversion utility 'Super' is a
free, very powerful tool. Lavendar text are
optional settings you can change if you wish
by making them either 'true' or 'false'

Insert Video: An easy way using You Tube.
Upload a video onto You Tube.
You Tube will give you code when
your upload is complete.
Paste that code into your
description box. You will have
