[Nfb-web] Alt Text for Embedded YouTube Videos

Fri Sep 2 20:38:03 UTC 2011

Hello Don and everyone,

Here's the code to link to a video file for playback: 
http://www.site.com/videos/filename.wmv">My Video</a>

    The video can be in any format. I for one prefer Windows Media as when 
played in Media Player you can get a full-screen view as if you were 
watching it on T.V.I bet Ellen would look and sound great on a 60-inch HD 
T.V. and heard in 6.1 channel surround sound.

    Now to get Mary's computer ready for a trip to the hospital next week. 
We believe she may have a virus. All the best.

Peter Donahue

Hi Peter,

Space shouldn't be a problem.  I do some testing and see what I can do with
that.

Thanks and warm regards,

Don...
