Unable insert video clip in FP 2002

G

Guest

Although I've had no trouble inserting photos and clip art, I'm unable to
insert a video clip such that it will play (empty frame in preview mode), and
I've had same result with both .avi and .mov versions. What might be causing
this?

How are you trying to insert it?

Have tried to insert it the same way I always have: click on Insert, then
Picture, then Video, then on the video file. It appears in the table I
created for it, but not in Preview mode.

Was just successful in adding the video clip, but had to do it by editing the
URL at the server end, which I shouldn't have to do. It remains a mystery why
I can't add the clip to the web on my hard drive, then publish the result to
the URL. MS KB 318280 is relevant, and I used the unsupported video guidance
in that KB article.

Nice work, Bob!

I'm not sure what you mean by "add the clip to the web on my hard drive."
Perhaps if you could post the HTML generated on your local copy of the web,
and the HTML generated on the server copy of the web, I could help figure it
out. It may be a result of not having the web opened when you insert the
video clip (which is not possible when working on a remote web site), but
I'd have to see the HTML to be sure.

As you well know, one can edit a web in one of two ways, either by making
changes to the web that's resident on one's computer or by going to the site
in IE6, then clicking on File and Edit in FrontPage. The former procedure
ends in "publishing" the changes (i.e., transmitting them back to the
server), while the latter ends in simply saving those changes.

Here's the HTML up through and including the video (video 4.avi) that still
isn't visible within FP, but is visible on the site itself (still under
construction) at www.missmariescharmschool.com/aboutme.htm:

Currently the path to the video points to your HD. You need to import the file into either the local
copy and then publish or into the live/remote site prior to linking to it or inserting in your page.

But initially I did indeed import the video file into my local copy of the
web, but when I tried to publish the changed page and that file to the URL,
it didn't "take." It was for that reason that I finally opted to edit the
page at the server end.

Ok, but did you import the file into the live/remote server first?

Just figured out what I was doing wrong. When I tried to publish the changed
page to the URL, I failed to also include the .avi file itself, mistakenly
assuming that it would automatically be included in the saved page. Lesson
learned and case closed. Yay!
