There is no support for this in Publisher. Its possible that you can find
code that you can inert via the insert html code fragment tool, to insert a
video player in your page. Try google. Be aware that for those people that
have a dial-up connection it can take 5 minutes or more to download a one
meg file. Seems to me that something like Youtube or some such would be a
better choice for a "database of movies". Alternatively ASP.NET or PHP or
some other server side database....
