I have Frontpage 2003 on a Windows XP but other viewers cannot see the videos
I put on the website when they use Windows Vista or IE7. I'm not sure which
one is causing the problem, but I would like viewers to see the video.
Please advise how I can do this? Thank you

Videos do not work in IE8, FireFox or Opera either.
These browsers do not understand dynsrc as in:

<img dynsrc="automotivevideo1.wmv" start="fileopen" loop="infinite"
width="263" border="0" height="219">

http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step1.php will generate code to embed
the videos using <object> and <embed> tags, though there may be better
methods.

PS - test your pages in Firefox and Opera - the rendering needs
attention.

Please post a link to the site - I have both IE7 and Vista, so I can check
to see if it really is a problem with those or not. It may be a completely
different issue, and I suspect your users don't have the correct media
player to play the files you've uploaded.

The users need a media player specifically able to play the file format you
want them to view. Are the files any of these formats:

WMV = WIndows Media Player
MOV = Quicktime Player
AVI = Just about any player
FLV = FLash Video (requires flash plug-in for their particular browser)
RM = Real Media
and many others.....

What file type (if any of the above) are your files. Please specify.

The user should be getting errors about not being able to play the file.
Have you had any feedback from them - specifically about any errors they've
had?
