re: Adding Video to FrontPage

Hi,

Thank you Jim for getting me started on converting my ripped DVD files. I
was able to convert them to MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and AVI (with a separate WAV
file).

However, I am having difficulty finding a utility to convert any of those
files to WMV without some sort of limitations - watermark, 50% conversion,
etc. Can anybody recommend a good free utility? Also, how can I convert an
AVI file whose audio is in a separate WAV? Is MPEG better anyway?

BTW I mistyped in my previous post - I am using FP 2002. Just out of
curiosity I tried adding the MPEG video to the web page, but it wouldn't
work. No video showed up and I had to right click on the non-existent image
to select "play" to hear the video.

If somebody could help steer this video newbie in the right direction, I
would greatly appreciate it! ;-)

Thanks!
Pam

A vob file is actually an mpeg-2 with a different file
extension name. All you need to do with that one is change
the extension

Use Windows Media Encoder to convert the mpeg2 file to a wmv
file
Use Windows Media Player plug-in and place it on the page

Here is a handly link that explains the whole process:
