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.
