I’m using FP2000 and in one of my pages, I inserted a plugin, namely Ferrari.mpg, I saved the page but when i loaded it in IE, the video clip wouldn’t play. (\<embed width=“100” height=“107” src=“Videos/Ferrari.mpeg”\>)

So I went to Drmwvr and did it from there and it had extra fields for me to fill in (name=“mpeg” pluginspage=“Ferrari.mpeg”) and it worked fine. So I copied the code and pasted it into the FP code and now it’s working.

But how do i get the video to work without having to take this d-tour?

TIA :flower:

Hey sykes,  
There is a method you can insert a video clip. Go to Insert | Web Component. Select Other Components and then Plug-In from the choices listed on the left. Set the source of your plug-in to be the MPEG video. It should work =)

Cheers!

thanks kirupa… but there isn’t an ‘Other’ option to choose ‘plug-in’ from.

But it started working all of a sudden anyway. Turns out i don’t actually need that extra bit of information.

embed width=“250” height=“250” src=“Videos/cats.wmv”

The above information seemed to be enough. It’s my computer, he likes to play games with me…

Hey sykes,  
The problem is caused by having multiple media players installed on the comp. I just realized it after you said your last example, a wmv file, worked. MPEG is a popular format that is supported by everything from Windows Media Player to Real Player to DiVX and others. Since WMV is only supported by Windows Media Player, IE has no problem picking the right program to display the video.

Cheers!
