adding video to a web site

updated thu 16 dec 04

I tried to add a video clip to my web site about the plate throwing. It is a
15 second clip that shows the restand and shaping so people can see how very
fast the restand technique is.
So far, no luck. I can get the file to play in the windows media viewer on
my computer and Microsoft Frontpage 2000 says I can add it to the page but
when I try to install, no luck.
Techies?
Any experience?
I have the Sony Mavica which records the video clips an Mpeg movie format
the media player recognizes,
It has to be something simple I have overlooked.
SIDE NOTE: all of the plate videos currently on order have now been shipped
and I hope the recipients will comment on the technique ( both positive AND
negative comments are welcomed ). If it works for you, please let us know.
If it doesn't, please let us know where it doesn't work.

First, you need to insure the server you are loading the files to is
compliant with the files you trying to load. Then you need to insure the
files are loaded to the server are present on the server and not staying on
his computer. you might have to do an import to get the files on the server.
or so my husband informs me.

try this little snippet of code (if you use front page, you might be able to
add as html tag, if not, you'll have to go to edit/edit html):

embed SRC="yourfilename.mpeg" AUTOSTART="TRUE (or "false if you want")"
LOOP="FALSE (or "true" if you want)" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="300"
ALIGN="CENTER">

make sure you upload the mpeg file onto the server in the same file folder
as the page, otherwise you'll have to change the src to direct to the path
and file name. you can change the parameters within the quotes (making sure
you take out the paranthesis). you can also change your height and width, it
goes by pixels.

hope this works!
