Default Re: Insert/edit Video in XC5 Product Pages

When working, will be video be streamed or put into memory? Wondering about load time issues.

Unfortunatey, X-Cart does not support loading video files. There are three other ways how you can accomplish what you need:

1) Upload your videos to youtube/vimeo and put the sharing code from these services to your product description
2) Put your videos to your server via FTP and then put links to them via <video> tag: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp Only modern browsers support this approach though
3) Write a module which will do the job of uploading and handling product videos as you need (the most expensive option)
