This tutorial is useful if you want to:
- Convert funny looking media URL to acceptable formats so that you can lay them on your Space media Player
- To shorten Long Media URL as Space media player does not accept them.
Check list:
There are many sites that give you fancy long URL codes for media files that you would like to play on your space. But MSN Spaces with strict filtering doesn't allow certain formats and long URL's.
Take for example : http://videocodes4u.com/ or http://www.videocodezone.com (There are many others, Google to find more)
Select the video you like..
I selected : Nelly - Grillz

If you try putting this in your space media player it may or may not work depending upon the type of code and also the length.
There is a simple way to get over this problem, it is plain genius.

Note: This is a general procedure only, some codes from other sites may not work and you may have to hunt for the URL in a jumble of codes.
