Your web page requires the Clipstream™ Video applet code embedded in its body before it knows where and how to play your Clipstream™ Video (.vcs) files. The applet code contains pointers to your files as well as custom parameters that control how the video will be played.

Form-based applet code generator
Generate Clipstream™ Video applet code with the convenient Applet Code Generation Page. Copy the created applet code and paste it into your html document.

How it works

In order to play the .vcs files, a Java applet containing instructions on how to play and which files to play must be embedded in your HTML, SHTML, PHP or other web format page.

Simple implementation (Cut and Paste)

Follow these steps to cut and paste the Clipstream™ Video applet code from the default page created by the Encoder.

Launch the Clipstream™ Video Encoder (GUI version).
Make sure that Generate HTML Page... is checked at the bottom of the Main Window.
Encode.
In the output folder, open the generated HTML page with Notepad or other editor.
Scroll down to the Applet code.
Highlight every line until after:
Copy it.

This is all of the basic code needed for Clipstream™ Video.
Open up the HTML page you are building.
Find the spot on the page where you want the video to appear and paste the copied applet code.

At the end of these steps you will have an HTML page with the basic Clipstream™ Video applet code for the movie you rendered in the Encoder.

Follow the steps in Upload and Host Clipstream™ Video 2.5 page to place this page and the required files to your webserver so that they can be viewed on the web.

Applet Code options

The applet code generated by the Encoder is only the most basic implementation and does not employ any of the many optional parameters that are available. To learn how to edit the applet code so that you can add these options (or turn off default functions), go to our Editing Clipstream™ Video Parameters page.
