 * I’ve been trying to embed the mp4 video at [http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/flv/TheMilkyWayBigPicture/TheMilkyWayBigPicture.mp4](http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/flv/TheMilkyWayBigPicture/TheMilkyWayBigPicture.mp4)
   to the Imagineers Chronicles at [http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/](http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/)
   using windows live writer and the following Video url or embed code
    <object 
   classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ width=”432″ height=”308″
   >    <param name=”MOVIE” value=”[http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/flv/TheMilkyWayBigPicture/TheMilkyWayBigPicture.mp4″&gt](http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/flv/TheMilkyWayBigPicture/TheMilkyWayBigPicture.mp4″&gt);
   <param name=”QUALITY” value=”HIGH”>    <param name=”BGCOLOR” value=”#000000″>
   <embed src=”[http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/flv/TheMilkyWayBigPicture/TheMilkyWayBigPicture.mp4&#8243](http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/flv/TheMilkyWayBigPicture/TheMilkyWayBigPicture.mp4&#8243);
   quality=”high”              type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”             
   bgcolor=”#000000″              width=”432″ height=”308″>       </embed>  </object
   > without any success. However I was able to embed a “swf” video to using the
   following code as you will see by going to [http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/](http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/).
   <object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ width=”432″ height
   =”308″>    <param name=”MOVIE” value=”[http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/flv/fdflvimg102608_01/flvimg102608_01.swf”&gt](http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/flv/fdflvimg102608_01/flvimg102608_01.swf”&gt);
   <param name=”QUALITY” value=”HIGH”>    <param name=”BGCOLOR” value=”#000000″>
   <embed src=”[http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/flv/fdflvimg102608_01/flvimg102608_01.swf&#8221](http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/flv/fdflvimg102608_01/flvimg102608_01.swf&#8221);
   quality=”high”              type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”             
   bgcolor=”#000000″              width=”432″ height=”308″>       </embed>  </object
   > I was wondering if some could explain to me why I can embed a swf file and 
   not a mp4. Thanks Jeff
