Trouble inserting video with Media Player plugin.

[Guest]

I'm using FrontPage 2003, Media Player 11, Internet Explorer 7, and Windows XP.

I have no problem inserting video in FrontPage. I also have no problem
previewing my video offline (i.e. by hitting F12). However, when I publish
the site I cannot view it on the internet. I have included a link below to a
basic page where all I did was insert the video. The player displays and
says "ready" but no video plays. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,
Dave.

I answered my own question. I decided to take a look at the code in order to
check the link to my video. When I did, I noticed that it was looking for
the video in a folder called, "media". I had never created a folder called
"media" so I was sure that it was not on my server. After a bit I discovered
that FrontPage had created a new folder called "media". Once I uploaded the
media folder everything worked great.

Why does FrontPage do this? And why would it not tell you that it was doing
it? Also, I have read every other post on this board concerning inserting
video into FrontPage 2003 and I did not see this posted. Am I missing
something obvious?

In any event, I hope this is helpful for others who may have had the same
problem as I.
