  Hi, I’m having trouble putting up this video from iFilm.com, but the <embed> tag keeps getting stripped when I save…

  <embed width=”328″ height=”265″ src=”http://www.ifilm.com/efp” quality=”high” bgcolor=”000000″ name=”efp” align=”middle” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” flashvars=”flvBaseClip=2691696&playlisttype=collection&playlistid=1542″/>

  Please help!

  You can’t use the embed element.

  because the video quality of youtube an google sucks big time. I want to embed my own video (flv, mp4 or anything else) which I encoded myself. Isn’t there any option in wordpress?

  first, you need to encoder the file from iFilm.com to video format wordpress supported, you can try flv converter,that can encode flv to wordpress video and audio format
  there is a free trial version

  Not good to promote your product on the forums flv2video, even though it was a good solution to get into wordpress.com.
