It is actually very simple, first upload your video to box.net. (If your box.net doesn’t look the same as mine, you might just be on a different account level, but you should find similar tools.)

After it has finished uploading click one the link “Share” to make it change to “Shared”

Then, click the arrow to open the drop-down menu of tools for that file and click Link to this File

A window will pop-up, you want to use the bottom of the two links (the one that ends with an actual file extension like .swf or .flv or whatever.

Then just use that link as the src url in your html for your video. For example, I often like using a .flv and then playing it with the JW video player, the code would look something like this:

<div id="container">
<a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/index_files/swfobject.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
       var s1 = new SWFObject("/index_files/player.swf",
"ply","480","290","9","#990000");
       s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
       s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
       s1.addParam("flashvars",
"file=https://spatical.box.net/shared/static/cd4gb5rmjv.flv");
       s1.write("container");
   </script>

Now that code also requires you already uploaded the JW flash video player, so the player.swf and swobject.js src files need to be linked correctly.  But you’ll see I linked the actual video directly to the file off of my box.net account.

The code for a .swf file with a built in player (like the ones exported from camtasia) require even less code.  You can just link to them directly in an embed tag or object tags.

For that video I just used this code:

<object width="320" height="240"
data="https://spatical.box.net/shared/static/ebx51dtj5i.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src"
value="https://spatical.box.net/shared/static/ebx51dtj5i.swf" />
</object>

That is it.  You should be able to stream lots of videos.  Of course if you ever start getting a lot of video views you’ll want to make sure you upgrade your box.net account to the highest level so you can make sure to get unlimited bandwidth.
