    Default Embedding videos

    1) not sure if embedding videos is the best option to show a video on the site, but how do I display a video on my product page? The link of the video provided is "http://69.25.139.97/marketing/videoNK.jsp?v=DT_PerfectWeightTee_II.flv&m=6005390 ", but I cant simply paste it to the description page and have it work, it only shows the link.

    2) what are the alternatives for showing a video on the site?

    Well, the topic could handle that for you easily, simply use the embed object tag, but for the product page, you could use a product specification sheet, that simply call the html file associated to the product ID and add the embed object tag to that associated HTML file. Also set the Spec Inline to Yes to show the video from the product page itself without the need to click a link and that's it...

    For the product spec, instead of .htm files, can we use .doc or .pdf files? If so, how?

    All it takes is a slight tweaking on the AspDotNetStorefrontCore.ProductSpecFile.FindIDFile method. See this link.
