Using videos

[Starhunter]

Most of my saved videos are MP1, and it seems that I can't add any to a page unless they're MP4. Is there any way around this besides having to convert them all?

You can batch convert to .FLV (better for streaming) or .MP4 using FormatFactory. It's quickly done.
Alternatively you may be able to use Longtailvideo's free JWplayer, Details on their home page.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

The conversion worked fine and the video was readable with Realplayer. But when I either move it or import it to a page, the video box is either transparent or white. When it plays only the audio comes out. What am I missing?

More information please?
Like ;
* Which container did you convert to
* Which codec did you select (if MP4 container, I suggest h264)

It was converted from mp1 to mp4. It plays fine in other players.
