 * Hi there,
 * I am using Widescreen theme by graphpaperpress and mostly nextgen gallery (besides
   the point).
 * I have uploaded an mpeg video to my server and then made a [post](http://mikespics.ca/2013/vid/),
   inserted it into the post but it doesn’t seem to come up as something to view
   just as a link.
 * Thoughts on how to actually make it viewable? It says in the widescreen instructions:
 * “Video
 * Paste the link to your video onto any page or post and WordPress will automatically
   embed the video from the link.”
 * Thanks,
 * Hofnagle

 * You’ll probably need a plugin to embed your video. Personally I would recommend
   that you first upload your video on youtube or vimeo instead. It will make embedding
   much easier and you won’t have to worry about bandwidth issues.
