does the movie play from your computer but not on the web page? If it doesn't play either place there a good chance the video uses a non-standard codec.

I'd recommend uploading the video to youtube or vimeo and embedding it from one of those sites.

You are using an absolute path to a folder on your C: drive

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/raf/Raf_Durgesh/Videos/swad.avi">

That will work just fine on your computer but not on the web.

change that path to
Videos/swad.avi

Then in the root folder of your site you need a Videos directory that contains your swad.avi file.
You'll need to do that for any video that isn't working

Perhaps you didn't notice but he is using an AVI file.
