Can't insert Video in FP

[Guest]

Hello,

Here is my site: http://www.mulliganssoftball.com/blank_template.html

I would like to add video clip. I have a Kodak digital camera that saves on
my Win XP my video clips as Quicktime. I have Quicktime Pro also. I want to
have a video on my site so people can watch. I would prefer to have them
control the play controls of the video, or else have an independent link so
they visit it on their own.

I can't insert my video clip with Apple Quicktime, and I'm not sure if it
would be better to have the .mov file to a Win Media Player file.

Anyway --

Here's what I have tried:

Embeding a video
In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design .
Position the insertion point where you want to insert a video.
On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click Video.
Locate and click the video file, and then click Open.

To view the video, in Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click
Preview.

I can't get this to work, and when I insert the video I get a little gif
image of a faulty image.


The file format that the movie is in now, is just a trial, and is NOT what I
intend on using or doing. I would like to put it up in either quicktime or
else WMA (I think)


Any suggestions? I have also read other people's problems suggestions in
the help forum, but am still having difficulty.


I thank everyone for their time and input.

It works...eventually - could be the file size (abt 780K) and/or that the
file has two extensions .mov & .avi
