Let's see what code you have and/or a URL to the page it's on. :)

Hi,

I donot think it is a good idea to embed a .avi file. AVI is not a streaming video format and the file size also would be very large for it to open on the page.

It would be better to use a streaming video format like .wmv if your targer audience are all PC users, .mov is a better choice since PC and mac users both can get a free quicktime plug-in ( it's there by default on all macs)

By the way what is the duration and size (in pixels x pixels) of the video?


all the best
