My OS is winxp sp2 home ed. Frontpage 2000, firefox browser

If I insert a .WMV video into FP 2000 by several different methods and preview it from the FP 'Preview' tab the video plays

just right, but when I use 'File>Preview in Browser', I.E. plays it but Firefox and Netscape will not play the video at all.

I have used this code:
<object id="MediaPlayer" width="340" height="300" classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading

Windows Media Player components" type="application/x-oleobject"

codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112"> <param name="filename"

value="http://www.jimmyrichmusic.com/yourvideo.wmv"> <param name="Showcontrols" value="True"> <param name="autoStart"

value="True"> <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="http://www.jimmyrichmusic.com/yourvideo.wmv" name="MediaPlayer"

width="340" height="300"></embed> </object>
-----and similar codes.  
I have used several methods from my FrontPage 2000 book to install it but, no matter what, the video will not play in Firefox

or Netscape but will play in I.E. and in FPs preview tab.

Please help me find a way to place videos in my website.
thanks,

Hi Jim and Irene,

Welcome to the forums!

Please go through this article and see if you can get it to work:

Or..convert the video to a Flash movie which will play anywhere.
I like this software:
