I am new to web page editing and needed to ask a question to anyone who may know, how do you embed video files into frontpage, so they will play on the site like they do here at studentfilms? I just downloaded this thing called Windows add in for front page or something but am not sure if that is it. Any help appreciated.

I dont use frontpage, but here are some links i found

THIS PAGE has some tutorials on how to embed Quicktime Files.

Here was another person with a similar problem. This one is about streaming video, although he is using Real Player files i think

Sorry i cant be of more help, goodluck

dude get ur hands on dreamweaver, just get the 30day trial version and embed the files.

It's simply a matter of importing the file, reeeeeally easy.

frontpage is made by the devil

May I ask... if I use adobe go-live, can I import some files ive edited in frontpage. Its causing me a lot of trouble so id like to convert. Thanks.

Thanks for the help guys, btw i loved lost springs particle man.

Yes, golive should be able to read any HTML files

hey

i've found a pretty quick and easy way of encoding to quicktime with good quality and putting that up on a webpage streaming without anything too fancy if anyone wants a tip?

the basics :

when you're creating the movie:
- export it as a quicktime MOV
- when choosing the settings, try the video codec as 'mp4' with keyframes every 10 seconds, with a maximum data rate of about 150-180.
- when choosing the audio settings, use the mp4 codec.
- it should save.

to embed it, put the file in the same directory as your html files and follow the simple embedding code instructions found with a simple search of the quicktime website at http://www.quicktime.com/

if you want any assistance, send me a message and i'll shoot you off an example file. quicktime mp4 works quite well for me - a movie at about 1/2 the size of NTSC comes down to under 20 meg for about 3 mins, with very clear non-grainy quality.

have a try - let me know how you go.

cheers
