compatiable with 2003

What Add-In?

The HTML for an Add-In is extremely simple. I'm not aware of any Add-Ins
that are incompatible with FP2003.

The usual problem with Add-Ins is that they're not very configurable. An
Add-In simply tells the browser, "Play this file with whatever program the
current browser is configured to use for video/mpeg (or whatever). This
provides maximum support across platforms but the downside, of course, is
that when you don't know what program is going to play the file, it's usually
impossible to specify any kind of detail settings.

You have much more control if you add Windows Media Player to your page as
an ActiveX control, but then the video will only be visible on Windows PC's.

This is why on most sites, any page that offers video does so my providing
links to various players. That way, the visitor can select a player they know
is installed.
