The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Adding a wmv file to an htm page

Zone: FrontPage-Expressions

Tags: wmv, file, page

I know this is a simple question and I am just missing something but here it goes. I am developing a website in Frontapage 2002. There will be a page on this site called "videos" for its members. How can I attach wmv and other multi-media files for that fact to this page? Can I attach a photo to that file to show the wmv's contents?

I have searched this website as well as Front Page's help and not found any comments on this. I am not talking about running a wmv when they open the page.

Thanks for the help

Mike

Not exactly sure what you mean when you say you would like to attach a photo to that file? What file, the WMV? Are you wanting to take a screen shot?

Thanks Corey for the quick response, by that I mean, I am not sure if the wmv will show a photo attached to it. Can I show a photo associated to it? That is all.

Where can I find the steps to add a wmv to a web page?

mslooner51:

Corey, as you suggested I performed the following setps with the following results on a page on a test website:

1). moved the cursure to a point on the page. selected insert, picture, then video. Selected a wmv file that I moved to a folder on the website.

2). Did the same thing with a file in a different area of the page for a file that ends in avi.

3). In another area of the page inserted a file with an extension of mp2.

Saved the page in Front Page and moved it to the web. The files are in the folder on the website but when I click on the folder nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks again.

I am not certain what:
The files are in the folder on the website but when I click on the folder nothing happens
actually means.

The media file is embedded into a webpage. What happens when you bring up the webpage that you embedded this into?

-Corey

mslooner51:

Corey, nothing happens. I get no errors, nothing. I just looked again and the files are sitting in the directory that was created.

I have been playing around a little bit with Front Page trying to figure out what is going on. Even though I select the file I see that FP is not moving the the modules to the website. What I did was delete the modules from the site, delete them from the FP page and readd them, republish the site and I see that they are not there. Cannot figure out what is going on.

hey - heres how you do it
you have to create some "pointer" files in order for this to work

first create a folder on your web to test this
called vidtest

in vidtest folder - put in your video file

then open notepad and enter this:

<ASX VERSION="3.0">
<ENTRY>
<REF HREF="1.wmv" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>

replace 1.wmv with the file name of your video file

close and save that file - i usually name it the same as the video file, but it ends with .wvx (ex. 1.wvx)

so you end up with

1.wmv - the actual movie file
1.wvx - the pointer file to the video

then create a new page and name it testvideo.htm and save in same directory

then open that page and paste this in your html view under the <body> tag

this is the movie object - you cna look thru
you may see some duplication
the object bit is for windows media on IE, and the embed section is to make Netscape works
change the height and width in each section
change VALUE="1wmv.wvx" to the location/name of your wvx file
change it here too - SRC="1.wvx"
<OBJECT
ID=MediaPlayer1
Name="MediaPlayer1"

yes - heres an excellent example of both linking to streaming audio
and streaming video

the video shows how to use the embedded video technique as well

the audio links on that page dont embed windows media plarer, only link to the streaming media "pointer" file, like the video exmple I posted above

slightly different than above

to create a "pointer" file and stream WMA files (audio encoded with the windows media encoder)
open notepad and enter the lines below, replaceing audio1.wma with the name of you wma file
save it as audio1.wax

<ASX VERSION="3.0">
<ENTRY>
<REF HREF="audio1.wma" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>

the audio1 part of audio1.wax you can name whatever you like - i like to name it the same as media file
just to make it easy when I create the hyperlink in frontpage

in frontpage, you create the hyperlink to the .wax file (not the actual media file) - when that link is clicked, it will start streaming the file to windows media player

the same is true if you want to just display video in windows media player and not embed it in the web page (as I did above)

just create a wvx file like described in previous post, and create a hyperlink to the wvx file and when clicked it will start streaming the file to windows media player

IN SUMMATION:
In order to stream windows media files, so they start playing right away rather than having to be fully downloaded, you have to:

1 - create wmv versions of your video files, using Windows MovieMaker or some other video editing program
2 - create wma version of you audio files, using Windows MEdia Encoder or some other audio editing program
3 - upload those media files to a folder on you website
4 - create a .wvx file to point to the video file you want to stream - easier to place it in same folder as video file
5 - create a .wax file to point to audio file you want to stream - easier to place it in same folder as video file
6 - create hyperlinks to either the .wvx or .wax files rather than the actual media files themselves
7 - the .wvx and .wax files serve as "pointers" to tell WMP to "stream that file"
8 - use code above to embed the WMP into a webpage so you can keep other content on the screen at the same time as the video

lemme know if there is anything else!!

Appreciate all the suggestions. I have been doing allot of reading and testing. I have come to the point where I am now getting video files to work but in a strange way. If I have three video files on a page, call them A, B, and C. If I click on file B video C will play. If I click on video A, videos A and B will play. Here is the code:

<table border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="AutoNumber1">
<tr>
<td width="33%">
<img border="0" dynsrc="blowup.mpeg" start="fileopen">
Girl blowing a beach ball</td>
<td width="33%">

<img border="0" dynsrc="Divaball1.mpeg" start="fileopen" src="diva.jpg" width="110" height="132">
Diva and beach ball part 1</td>
<td width="34%">

<img border="0" dynsrc="Divaball2.mpeg" start="fileopen" src="diva.jpg" width="110" height="132">
Diva and beach ball part 2</td>
</tr>
</table>

Can anyone help.

While I have said nothing, I have just about finished and have it working. I would like to think the people who helped me. The final issue is that when I clip and paste the html from the web site to my page the formatting becomes all jumbled.
