I have a request to add a 7 minute video to a site on a windows server. Site
was built with FrontPage 2002. What do I need to know about doing this....
Can it be as simple as using the insert/picture/video prompts and what file
type is recommended. Allegedly the production company can export to anything
we want... Any input would be appreciated. Thanks so much! - Donna

Yes, I believe it is that simple. Make sure though that you use a format useable
by all your viewers - eg offer two formats - say Quicktime and Windows Media (to
cater for apple mac users and windows users, and probably linux users as well.

Have several versions of the file i.e. for dialup connection and broadband/cable
connections.

File type recommended probably Quicktime, MPeg, windows media player - the choice
is yours really wether you want something close to DVD quality or higher or
relatively low quality footage. Obviously the better quality it is the higher
speed connection people will need.

A 7 minute video would take quite a chunk of disk space and bandwidth.
