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:

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.

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.

Have you tried Preview in Browser? There are differrences between the
Preview tab and Preview in Browser. Here's a KB article that discusses
some
of them:

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.

How are you trying to insert it?

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?
