I want to know if my website made in publisher 2003 can support video clips.

And how do I do it?

After reading your reply, I gather that the video clip will not actually be
on my publisher 2003 website, but rather a link to the clip somewhere else?
Is that true?
What I am after is for people to see one of my waterfeatures flowing in
video when they click on the appropriate page.
Thanks very much for your reply David

Correct. With Publisher you upload the video clip to your webhost and link
to it from your Publisher webpage. When the user clicks the link the video
clip is downloaded to the users computer and hopefully opened and played,
depending on whether the user has the proper media player installed on their
computer. You might also think about how big of file, and how long it will
take for the user to download, and perhaps consider images, or perhaps a
slide show. You can Google for javascript code snippets for slide shows that
you can insert via the insert HTML code fragment feature.

Thanks David for the info.  I appreciate the help.
I need video as I make water sculptures and to show them inanimate is not
the best.

Dave,

After viewing your site, I still say WOW...very impressive work, even as
stills. But I can see why you want the video. I think you are going to need
to investigate streaming video, and perhaps a different program than
Publisher to build your site. Publisher is intended for static, simple
websites, and you are looking for a dynamic function that is beyond the
scope of Publisher.

If you want to stay with Publisher, then perhaps offer a link beside the
still picture, so the user can download and run the video. One of the things
you need to remember is that people are impatient, and if you try to embed
the video, and even if they are using broadband, they frequently will move
on, rather than wait for a big video file to load. I would also stay with
video formats that will work with the Windows Media Player, as everybody
that has a Microsoft OS, will have that installed, and will be able to play
the video after downloading. I would also make note of the file size, beside
the link, so people will have some idea of how long it will take to
download. I use broadband at my office, but get by with dial-up at my home
office. That means that it takes me about 5 minutes to download a 1 meg
file. I might take the time to download a video, especially of your work,
but I would like to know in advance, and have it be optional. Just my 2
cents worth...

And once again, I love your sculpture....and find it impressive even as a
still photo.
