Best Way to Make MSN Video Player
From http://www.web-video-player.com
As I often visit MSN Video to watch the latest news, entertainment and TV clips these
days, an idea struck me: How to make an online player with "MSN video" style? After the
whole evening’s searching for relevant information and different trials, I can now make
exactly the same MSN videos easily (Note: Not the same video content but the same
video user interface). I would like to share with you guys how I make it.
Well, videos vary from one site to another, but the embedded player can be the same or
similar. Perhaps you are excellent enough to program the codes of the embedded player,
but I didn’t. I tried to google such information whether there is such tool that can help to
generate web videos directly and I did.
It must be said, even though I have written this with a specific application in mind, I think
there are many out there. The one I have used here, Socusoft Web Video Player is OK as
it can generate exactly the same user interface of MSN videos. Anyway, please do
experiment with different players. I would like to hear of other ones you have used and
your experiences with them and you may report back here in the comments.

Now, let me show you how I make the online player with "MSN TV player" style. First of
all, download Socusoft Web Video Player from its official site: http://www.web-video-
player.com and install it. You may also google search the program to find out more quick
download resources.
1. Launch the program. You will see the default step "Video". Click "Add" button on the
upper right side to add videos. If your video file is not FLV format. You need to convert it

to FLV format before adding. You may click "Convert" button to launch the embedded
converter for video conversion. From my testing, its embedded converter makes quick and
easy work of nearly any video file thrown at it.
2. Go to the second step: "Themes". Click the drop down menu on the right side and
choose "Bottom List", which is exactly the same style of MSN video user interface. You
may now click "Preview" at the bottom to preview your web player. You may also directly
go to the third step: "Publish" > and click "Publish Now" to publish videos.
When completed, click "View Web Page" to enjoy MSN style video player. You can also
upload the video files to your website. Now you can do it yourself.
