Welcome aboard to Astahost.
You will need to transfer that home video file to your computer. Then upload it to your myspace account (if it can hold that big file) and insert the HTML code to display the video file. You will most likely need to use the EMBED tab to play the file in your myspace site: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/embeddedobjects/_EMBED.html |

I don't know MySpace, but given the nature of the site, I guess they have instructions how to embed video there. And if not, I'd say that easiest way for you to do it is to go someone else myspace, view the source and shamelessly copy the video embedding code.
 And since you're going to have the video public anyways... why not upload it to a video service like YouTube.com? Simply upload it there and the site even gives you ready code to embed the video to MySpace. Easy and your video will be on a fast server and for free.

Go to YouTube or Photobucket and register for free member ship. Then upload your video on their Upload sections (two different services, both equally able).
They will provide you with the HTML for the video, and you can post it anywhere that you edit HTML. The video is hosted free on their servers, and with YouTube your friends can view all your videos under your username. YouTube is incredibly popular and easy to use. The embed tag is cumbersome and often doesn't load or has similar problems. |

Well if you haven't uploaded the home video from your video capturing device to your computer, then you should first do that. And when you finish the transfer, if the video file size is under 20MB, then you can directly upload that video to MySpace, which will give you a code to put in your homepage when it's finished being processed.
If your video's file size however is too big, I recommend you upload it to a video sharing community site similar to YouTube. I suggest you upload the video to YouTube not just because it's the most popular but it's also easy to use. They will give yout hte HTML code that would allow you to put it in your homepage. |
