SharePoint can also be used to store list and libraries and save list item and document property's values also known as metadata which is also known as data about data –very powerful technique to use in search query so entire information can be accessed anytime about your items.  Thus creating a powerful search mechanism help you access specific information stored inside your document.

Metadata can also be used for accessing your media files or access assets once you associate them using keyword for browsing. You store files physical files or media files or any asset re so what if if you don’t need to remember media files location or document library so ideally you can define it for all these assets or files so you can access them via keyword that you have defined.

If you are familiar with content type technology which is available in SharePoint by using it anyone can store different information for different files using one document library which is beauty of SharePoint and automatically populate them via metadata.

Why use metadata with Record Center site:

Even when working with record management centre site you have ample room to define or classify data with your records which is traditionally hard to find and organize.
One flavour is to classify your record or even with your invoice you can define additional information about your invoice by adding  into it.


  • Other flavor is to enhance your search by defining it as keyword.
  • Many org and companies when storing document they store it into library.

And further create folder and then folder to store document in this document library- but main problem with this approach is difficult to find your documents from such structure – and if you define it at site level or document level so you can easily find your documents which will be auto populated too.

Why managed metadata so important:


As term employs that managed metadata is a place where you can manage your metadata centrally,
By enabling metadata service you can define managed metadata and termset and utilize them globally.

Don’t get confused with tagging – this technique is basically implementing it at specific list item
As final thought SharePoint provides central term management mechanism, so you can define common set of terms which can be used on entire site level. Once you define it then you can associate them with your list and libraries you also can take full advantage of auto populate metadata sharepoint and configured your portal based on this mechanism.

When you want to upload a video file in flv format but that format is too big and SharePoint is not allowing you to upload that video on you portal so you have some options to fix such issues.
You can convert that video flv or flash video into .wmv format and then try uploading that video on portal when you convert that video into wmv format using tools available there so you would see format is wmv but file size is extremely reduced.
If you want to upload that video using content editor web-part so you can just upload that wmv resource which is reduced file size on your portal but again you might be facing one more issue there,  that video would not be displaying or playing automatically when user would visit your video page.
Actually you want a video player should be there to play that video inside portal when you upload that video using content editor webpart.
Here are few techniques that would help you to upload video from content query web-part easily and this technique would show/display video on portal page and play it accordingly.
You can try copying the following code in content editor web-part in html source area - just edit your sharepoint webpage and modify content editor web-part , you would see text area , from there you can select html code and write the following there:


<object classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" width="600" height="400" id="mediaplayer1" title="Win Media Player">
  <param name="FileName" value="http://testserver /English/TS%20Strategy%20English%20ImageFilm2.wmv">
  <param name="AutoStart" value="False">
  <param name="ShowControls" value="False">
  <param name="ShowStatusBar" value="True">
  <param name="ShowDisplay" value="False">
  <param name="AutoRewind" value="False">
  <param name="DisplayBackColor" value="True" />
  <param name="BufferingTime" value="6">
  <embed src= http://testserver /English/TS%20Strategy%20English%20ImageFilm2.wmv" width="500" height="400" autostart="True" type="application/x-mplayer2"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/MediaPlayer/" filename=" http://testserver /English/TS%20Strategy%20English%20ImageFilm2.wmv" showcontrols="True" showstatusbar="False" showdisplay="False" autorewind="True" displaybackcolor="True" bufferingtime="6">
</embed>
</object>

Note: Code is written by sqlservermanagementstudio.net



Object tag has classid attribute that is for media player class id so you don’t worry let it be as it is. You can change some other attributes if you want like auto play, buffer time etc.
You need to change the source file in value attribute of object tag.
Finally when you write this code in content editor weppart so you would see video is displaying and playing inside sharepoint portal.
We have assumed this you have uploaded video in sharepoint video library and just referring it here inside object tag.
You can leave any comment if you are having issues in fixing while uploading video in sharepoint using content editor webpart.
