Newbie with video problem

[kgeraldon]

Hi everyone, I am new here and need a little advise on adding video to my website. I am not linking them to a specific site. I have them on cd that I have downloaded to my computer. I am using FrontPage and I go to insert picture...video..then from file. When it adds a small icon to the site, it never opens up. Please help. I have read a few articles, but all I can find is direct linking to the video. I don't know that I can do that since the files are on my computer. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kat, I'm not really sure what you are trying to do here. If you want to add a playing video to your site, you must do a similar thing to adding a picture to your site, which is to put it in a position where a web browser can see it.

There are various different ways that you can play a movie clip and I'm not sure how Front Page deals with them. But essentially it will need to insert an object on the page and then give some specifications about how the object should be displayed in the code.

But none of that will work if you don't upload the video to your web server.
