Video clips on web forums

[Vivarovers]

Hi,

I'm new to this video stuff, and wondered if any one can help. I want to edit some video that I have saved as a Windows media file and MPEG file. I then want to use a web based site e.g photbucket) to make a link to add into a forum page. Every time I post then it will play a clip after my signature.

Any ideas??

I would suggest that the most appropriate way of doing what you want is to create an animated gif. Due to the limitation of bbcode, I would think that embedding video would be difficult to impossible within a forum signature.

Cheers Mark. Do you know of any software that will convert my MPEG to a GIF? Also is there anyway of making the clip shorter, by I suppose editing it? Will I need different software for this and again can you recommend any.

Cheers

Viva
