Using Dreamweaver I have embedded a video in html file which if I then send
as an html email to O2007 user the video box does not show and video does not
play. Any ideas? What have I done wrong?

What's wrong is your thinking that a mail client should act upon active
content. That's the single most common vector pf malware and it's proper that
a mail client won't run active content in a message.

It is highly likely that your recipients have their e-mail client NOT run
scripts in e-mail. They either use the Restricted Sites security zone in
Windows or have their own security options that default to neutering the
nasties from HTML-formatted e-mails. E-mail is NOT a web page. If you want
your recipients to see a web page, put a URL to your web site in your
e-mail.
