I have two different video files. One is of .asf format and another is of .xesc format. How can I play these video files on my website?

    You can't unless you also program your own customized decoders. Easiest thing is to just... Convert them to browser compatible format (_example:_ MP4 video) and display using the Answer posted below. Try searching in Google for `online video converter` to do a test conversion into MP4. – VC.One Aug 25 '17 at 04:35

The best solution is to upload it to a video-streaming service (such as YouTube) and play it on your website as an embed video. Then you do not have to worry about streaming the video - which can drag the speed of your entire website down.

However you can also convert the video to a supported HTML5 format and upload it to your server and use HTML5 builtin video player (not recommended).

You should use the video tag - HTML5 feature

<video height="500" width="500" controls>
    <source src="source/of/the/video/" type="video/type" />
    Can't play this video right now...
</video>

If you do not want to convert it, you may want to check out this answer

  • I tried this way. But it doesn't support .asf and .xesc video format. Is there any way that I can play them on my website? – Kazi Md. Munim Aug 23 '17 at 18:06
