Give your customers more information with Video

Hi.
I have read a couple of posts regarding embeding videos.. For any one that is interested in adding this feature here is a demo http://www.kelmar-group.co.uk/cart/inde ... duct_id=57
So how did I do it?

1. Join http://www.thevideobusinessdirectory.com for free (I own it) create an account, and upload videos of your products > copy the embed code.(this is to the left of the video)
2. Open your store admin > select products> edit> in description select 'source' add the word <b>Video Discription</b><br> then paste your embed code from thevideobusinessdirectory.com > save.

The video of your product is streamed direct for thevideobusnessdirectory.com, meaning you don't have to pay any bandwith fee's or use up any more of your hosting space.
Also video can be uploaded in any format! Mpeg, wvm, avi, e.t.c.

Why use thevideobusinessdirectory.com? unlike youtube, we won't delete your product videos, unlike youtube we do not show a logo in the bottom right hand corner. P.S. you can upload as many videos as you wish, get stated today!

Just curious: How do you pay for all of this, such as the bandwidth and server space?

I run dozens of website, some make money, some don't, I also own my own hosting company, and make money from that, so The Video Business Directory is basicall hosted for free. I built the site, so that just cost me time..
I do intend to sell advertising space on it in the future..

Hope this helps

i just tried to upload a video to test this and when i click upload my selected avi file i get this message:

Error: returned status code 0

Hi Danny McD

Sorry for the late reply, It looks like it never uploaded for a couple of reasons (AVI always seem to cause the most problems)
1.avi is a container format so it really depends on what kind of avi it is how it was encoded.
2. Your AVI file was corrupted.
3. Try converting it, into another format, and re-upload.

If non of the above work Danny, you can contact use, via www.thevideobusinessdirectory.com, these emails are checked daily, I only come on this fourm now and again.
