When creating my post on netbook deals, I ran into the problem of trying embed an amazon video. Google didn’t help, but I managed to figure out a way to do it. Nothing amazing for those who know something about website design, but for you non-techy googlers, here’s an explanation.

Step 1: Click the “Share” button on the video once you’ve got it playing.

Step 2: You should get to the video’s permalink page. View the page source in your browser. Need help?

Step 3: Find “<object classid” in the source without the quotes (use CTRL-F).

Step 4: Copy the entire code starting from <object classid to </object>. Should look something like code below.

Step 5: Paste the HTML anywhere on your site/blog/etc. and you’ve embedded the video!

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28" width="320" height="283" id="fp_AMPlayerProd" title="Flash Player"  >
