I have a video clip that I want shown on my website. I  
downloaded it and now it is a file in the windows media player format.  
Let’s say it is the video clip that is the death scene from “The  
Interview” and I am sure youtube would remove it. So, how do I show the  
video on my website without using youtube? I think I remember doing this  
with a third party tool.

I remember something that is open source but I do not remember what  
it is called. As long as you were not doing it for profit, you did not  
have to pay for it, as I recall.

I tried to find a solution by googling but, no matter what I tried as  
a search statement, the search results were always something that  
assumed the user was looking for some information about youtube.

Given how many results I found on YouTube for that particular scene, I’m not sure if it would be removed. I’d say try the YouTube route first before exploring any other options 😄

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for but this is the video player I use whenever I need video on a project I work on.

But I think you tube is the best as it has a easy user interface and good editing options while uploading video’s online without any watermark.
