Playing third party videos in Brightcove video player

Question

I have a few videos hosted on a website and I want to play the videos using brightcove video player. The problem is that they allow only videos to play that are hosted on their video cloud because their player code uses the video id (eg. 437622) which is given by their video cloud.

As you can see:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://admin.brightcove.com/js/BrightcoveExperiences.js "></script>
<object id="myExperience1059346274001" class="BrightcoveExperience"> 
<param  name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />   
<param name="width" value="459" />       
<param name="height" value="305" />   
<param name="playerID" value="1044271449001" />            
<param name="playerKey" value="AQ~~,AAAA8me3D8E~,Xry9K_L-zJWZ-cMfhF8FDDI0BLyJ9W-6" />
<param name="isVid" value="true" />   <param name="dynamicStreaming" value="true" />
<param name="@videoPlayer" value="437622" /> </object>

Here this player plays video with id no= 437622 and I want to play video that is hosted on my own website eg: http://video.abc.com/i-zxvm29QW-640D.mp4 with Brightcove video player.

Is there any way to do so? Please help me.

You can't just load an arbitrary file into a Brightcove player on the client side, but you can create a "remote asset" in Video Cloud Studio. This becomes a video with an id, but which uses your file where it is without it being uploaded and transcoded.
