| | 13 | Below are the conceptual steps to take when publishing video on the Internet. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | * Export in your video editing software's native format |
| | 16 | * Convert your file to the xvid format. For linux users, you can use [http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/download.html ffmpeg], Linux, Mac, or Windows users can download [http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html mplayer]. |
| | 17 | * At this point, ideally your web site would be configured to accept xvid files and convert them on the fly to a flash format. However, you can also manually do that using Mplayer, which can convert your xvid file to a flv fle. |
| | 18 | * Your web site should include a flash player ([http://flowplayer.org/ Flow Player] is a free software option). |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | Optionally, if you have linux, you can use [http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/ ffmpeg2theora] to create a downloadable version of your video in the ogg/theora free format. |
