That would be something like checking the video's length, then having a meta redirect after the video's length.

I'm not familiar with PHP's video functions, or even if they exist. But PHP could do something like that as well. If video functions exist, that is.

Try searching for a "timed-page-redirect"

A timed redirect would not work. Most people wait for videos to load and there would be problems if the viewer has a slow connection

i know there has to be a way, because if you have ever downloaded videos off of kazza or limewire, sometimes the video will take you to a web page when the video starts. i am not sure if you can make it do it when the video is over though.

Yes, but that is a program and you have the video on your computer, there is no load time. On the internet, the file must load in order to play. The best thing is to learn flash and make your own video player that will do that.

**Tree** · January 24th, 2006, 14:23

Yeah, that would do it.

**DanTheMan** · January 24th, 2006, 16:07

so a timed script will work?

**Tree** · January 24th, 2006, 16:11

Probably not. Videos are different lengths and people load videos quicker than others.

Unless you code it into the video, not sure how they do it but I've ran across a few that will launch webpages, so there is a way. First of all, what type of media are you playing? .mpeg .avi .mov what?

i don't understand what u mean by that...and i don't want them to download it...just view it online...then the page refreshes to another page and viola it leads to another page right after it's done playing....
