Hallo,

ich versuche, ein Video wie ein Bild in eine Outlook-MSG zu embedden.
Dies funktioniert Oberfl?chlich gut, allerdings merkt man schnell, das er
nur das erste Bild des Videos embedded und dann auf die LOKALE Videodatei
verlinkt. Beim versenden von Mail wohl eher hinderlich.
Nat?rlich kann man auch Videos anf?gen, aber hier sollen sie embedded
werden.

Kann man Outlook dazu bringen, wirklich das Video zu embedden, und nicht nur
verlinken ?
Bei Bildern macht er das ja auch... Die werden angef?gt, und das embedded
Object zeigt auf das angef?gte Element, und alles funzt prima...
?brigens, Word 2003 hat dasselbe Problem. Ich h?tte echt gedacht, solche
Medienprobleme geh?rten l?ngst der Vergangenheit an...
Pleaz Help...

Hi,
Sorry, missed that the NG is english...

I'm trying to embe a videofile in Outlook. It works generally via embed
object,
but when sending the msg, one soon realizes that it only embedded the first
picture of the vid and LINKED the rest to the LOCAL file - which is hardly a
handy behaviour for sending via email. Of cause one can attach a vid, that
is no problem. But here, it needs to be embedded, i.e. appears in the mesage
body at a defined place.

How can I get Otulook / OE to do that? MS-Word 2003 seems to have the same
Problem.
I don't understant this behaviour, because it works well with pictures.
Outlook attaches them, and links to the ATTACHED file in the message body.
The same should be possible for a vid-file with an embed-object-tag, I'v
done it some times in HTML.

Pleaz Help...

Hi Bjorn,
    I don't know why you would want to "embed" a video file (wmv) in a stationery. I seems to me that the stationery would be extremely large and take forever for the receipient to download it. I use videos in stationeries but I "stream" them from a website. It appears that they are embedded when viewed by the addressee. I am sending you and example. You can see how it is done by analyzing the script for this reply. I hope this helps,
~Neo~

(Note: My Upload Bandwidth is 128 Kbps. Therefore the video does not buffer
as fast nor is the video as clear as it would be with a faster upload.
The video may take some time to finish buffering. If you are not using
broadband, the buffering will take a looooong time :o) Playing the video
a second time will have no buffering.)

Thanks Neo,

but I don't want it in a stationary (When I understand stationary right - re-useable outlook-templates), I youst need to dein it in the body of a single email to a singel user. I am only asking in the stationary group becaus I heared that here are the competent people when it comes to embedding stuff in MS Email-Tools.
And another vid to another user. the vids are small (1-3 MB), the mails are many, so I do not want to ul all the vids to a webspace and link them. Also the vids should also be able to be viewed offline (from outlook - without first saving them somewhere else).

If you ask "I don't know why you would want to "embed" a video file " you could also have asked "why would one want to embed a Picture?" a few years ago.
Thanks for your solution anyway, that's excactly the way I did it in HTML-Pages. Thing is, when embedding pics, Outlook references an attachment
Something like this...
<IMG src="cid:750111922@03062004-0132" align="baseline" border="0">
So why should it be so difficult do refere to a attached vid ?
In your example something like...
player789.URL="cid:234234234@45676-7878"
How can this be done with O/OE ?
It sould be possible for any embedable object... ?!

Anybody knows ?

Hi,

Outlook's video-email plugin...
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4f1c4207-8124-46eb-acc9
-a01d7ec946e0&displaylang=en

...does exactly what i mean (unless it can only read wmv up to 1 MB, which is crap).It produces something like this...

  <!--[if !mso]><IMG height0 dynsrc=cid:attachmedia width0><![endif]-->
  <!--[if mso]>No playable video file .<![endif]-->

...well, at least quite similar to what I mean. Does an IMG-tag with dynamic source. Quite proprietary, but so what.
It would surely also work with a simple...
 <object><embed src="cid:some_cid_id_which_points_to_wmv_file" ></embed></object>
...only prob is I don't have the CID.

I really can't understand what should be so difficult about that ?!

Plz help.

Bj?rn,

I think you'd better ask this question to the other stationery group, the
one that is now private (check messages from Robbie and follow her
instructions).

I am sure Don Anadell will help you with this question.

Regards

Jordi
