Hi everyone,

Just wondering how do you make a custom video player for the web?

Azzakio

Have a look at this.
Thanks to Bezz

awesome ill have a look, thanks

do you know one that also plays .WMV files?

Azzakio

Yeah i find this pretty good,

azzakio, upload your .wmv files to youtube and set the source code of the player to the youtube video.

Also, when the video controls fade my mouse dissapears... does this happen to anybody else?

i use divx, its player is very customizable. also it has a desktop dimmer, after about 1 min your desktop will fade away.

To play wmv videos, use windows media players or such.
Flash players only play .flv videos to my knowledge.

You can download free converters over the web (search google), or you can as Omega_X-15 said - use youtube to host and convert them for you; but if you do that, I don't see the point in not using You Tube's player as well *shrug*

yes this is true.

also if you have Macromedia Flash, you can convert videos to .flv

To make custom Flash video player for website, you can either use Adobe Flash CS or just use a pre-designed player. You can check this tutorial - Tutorial: Customize Flash video player

Macromedia Flash is expensive, freeware can already do this. Check free Video4Web Converter.
