Homepage Video Content (file size)

[beed]

I have video content playing on the main homepage of my prestashop site using the following code

<embed src=”{$base_dir}themes/site/img/mymovie.mp4” align=“right” height=“220” width=“320” controller=“false” bgcolor=”#ffffff”/></a>

however the file i used was only 240kb and the actual movie i wish to play is 313MB, this is causing a problem as when the page is loaded it hangs on loading. I have uploaded the video onto my FTP. Is there another method i can take to achieve this, so that the video plays correctly

thanks very much

Convert the movie to FLV with Super and download a free FLV player. An FLV player will stream your video instead of having to download it all at once.
