? extension: Video on DW8

[Lab]

Hi,

That's funny.. I'm even programming using php and mysql, but as I never had
to deal with video playback on websites, I don't know how to do this quickly
without having mistakes.

Is there any extension that makes it easier to put Video into the html page?
And which video format better to use: *.mpg or *.mov(quick time) to get
better performance/playback quality?

Help me please :)
Thanks a lot!
Roman

Roman,

Flash Video is built into DW8. You don't need an extension. Try this:

Insert > Media > Flash Video...

Hope this helps,
Randy

Randy is right .. and Flash video is the way to go. Dreamweaver 8 just
inserts the Flash Video . it doesn't produce it so it actually has to be in
FLV format first .. if you own Studio 8, then you already have the Flash
Video Encoder .. well worth the effort!
