Can I specify when my video shall start on html? - html

I want my video to show a specified image while embedding it on html
basically I'm doing the following:
<embed src="video.m4v" width="520" height="456" autoplay="false" controller="true" type="video/quicktime" scale="tofit" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" bgcolor="black"> </embed>
Is there a specific parameter that I can add that says when the video shall start?

There are no attributes of the embed tag that specify the start time of what's embedded.
Depending on what's playing your video, you could use a param tag with flashvars.

Unable to loop video file using embed tag in firefox

Video file embedded in an html-page using the 'embed' tag never play the video in loop, even if the 'loop' value is kept as 'true'.

Stop SWF autoplay in html

How to stop auto-play of the SWF file while embedding in html.
Here is the code that I am using:
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="videos/xxx-xxx-xxx.swf" width="100%" height="100%" style="undefined" id="Captivate" name="Captivate" bgcolor="#333333" quality="high" wmode="window" seamlesstabbing="false" menu="false" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="variable1=value1">
Just add ?autoplay=0 after url in embed code and let me know.
If changing autoplay on the embed code doesn't work, you could try adding this to your flash movie:
Create a new layer in your timeline and call it "actions"
Select the first frame of that layer, and press F9 to open the Actions editor.
Type in the following code: stop();
When you play the movie, it should no longer autoplay.
Look for <param name="play" value="false" /> or in embed add play="false"
This parameters stop on Main Timeline in 1st frame

Get video from BLOB and play that video using struts2 action using <iframe> or <embed> tag

I can successfully open a video read from a BLOB by using <s:url action='downappsuservideo'/>, but it doesn't work when I put it in an embed tag.
How to play it inside the page ?
<embed src="<s:url action='downappsuservideo'/>"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/"
name="mediaplayer1"
ShowStatusBar="true"
EnableContextMenu="false"
width="700"
height="500"
autostart="false"
loop="false"
align="middle"
volume="60">
</embed>
You don't need an iframe nor an embed tag. Just use HTML5 <video> tag that is the new, standard way:
<video src = "<s:url action='downappsuservideo'/>"
autoplay = "false"
width = "700"
height = "500"
loop = "false"
poster = "posterimage.jpg">
Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos,
but don't worry, you can download it
and watch it with your favorite video player!

How to stop embedded videos on my website from autoplaying

embed src="clip2.mp4" width="600" height="400" scale="aspect" controller="true"
This is the code I have used to display the video onto my website, but does anybody know how to stop the video from automatically playing once the website has loaded?
you need to add these two attributes to the <embed>
autoplay="false"
autostart="false"
Some browsers wont recognize true or false. In such situations try,
autoplay="0"
autostart="0"

How to embed an swf file having controls like video/audio Tag?

I tried searching various ways of embedding my swf files in to the browser using video, object and the embed tags.
video tag did not let me run the swf.
This is what i had tried :
<video controls>
<object data="video.swf" width="320" height="240">
<embed src="video.swf" width="320" height="240">
</object>
</video>
I also tried:
<video controls>
<object data="video.swf" width="320" height="240"></object>
</video>
and
But found no luck.
Then i tried the embed and the object tags:
<embed src="video.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="200" width="200">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="video.swf" height="200" width="200">
Both worked fine.
But i want to have the controls [play/pause/sound controls] that comes along with the video tag.
Is there any way i can have the controls along with embed or object tags ?
Or can i embed my swf file into the video tag ?
Any help would be appreciated.
If you'd like controls and you're trying to embed your own SWF File, you'll need to build the player yourself. Either through flash or by using JavaScript functions to send instructions into the flash file.
I'm assuming you're doing this for cross browser compatibility, If working in Actionscript doesn't sound like much fun (hint: it's not), you could use something like videoJS which would provide you with a fully featured player. I personally use MediaElement which I've found to suit my needs.
