    I've been trying to embed a video to my form.  I get a permissions error when I try to upload the software to the folder where the form is located.  This is a requirement of the video software.  When I try to change the permissions it changes back to the original configuration that I was trying to change.

    Is it possible to add video to your form?

    Thanx

      I don't understand exactly what it is you are trying to do.  There is no "video" feature in phpFormGenerator.  What you can do is use phpFormGenerator to generate your form, and simply add a video using an embed tag or something.

      I've tried that.  The video software is Flow Player.  It's required that the software be in the same folder as the form for it to work.  When I try to put the Flow Player software in the folder where my form is, it blocks this from happening.

      Perhaps it's a software issue?

        Depending on what this is, you're host may not allow you to store and use executable code on your site.  I would ask them first if they think it should work. 
        I also agree with najaf, I don't understand what you are trying to do.  Are you just trying to run a video while the form is being filled in?

      Sounds like you are over complicating things.
      try adding this code to your page (it's not mine, but is open source)
      The height and width can be adjusted.  Adjust the height to see the video screen.  I have it set up only as a player for streaming mp3
      Copy and paste  between the *********s
