Hi,

I’m just starting to build a site. I nee to display a short (1-2 min.) video. What is the best format to use that most people will be able to download resonably quickly and still keep good quality?

Also, is there a way to have FrontPage display the video controls while the video plays? Thanks.

Jeff
