My friend who runs a local community group website wants to upload a movie of me reading a poem. He has had a go, but the file took ages and didn't load too well.
Thoughts please.

Upload it to Photobucket or somewhere similar and copy and paste the code in from there. Or even just put a link in to it, on the web page.

As Ken has said, you will probably be better uploading it somewhere else and just supplying a link to it. You tube springs to mind. To put it on your own website gives you two options, the most common is to encode the video so it isn't too big, the easiest way is to import it into windows movie maker and then save it out for the web. It will then be a much smaller frame size and be compressed. Then when someone clicks on it within web page it will download to their computer and play. The finished file size, your web hosts server speed and the users download speed will dictate how long it take from clicking on it to it playing on the users computer. The other way is to stream it straight to the user, a bit more complex. The problem with both solutions is the effort required to enable the function within your website and they both use your bandwidth. If you host it elsewhere then it doesn't matter how many people view it as it will be streamed from the host site (ie You tube). Hope that helps rather than confuses

Just wondering why it 'must' be done. If it's for the benefit of visually impaired people, you could just extract the audio and post that - it will be a lot smaller

It is publicity for a book our group has published, as well as for the community group.
