Can anyone give me info on how to put a video on a website so you don't have to download it to view the video? I'm using Microsoft FrontPage 2000. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Use "asx" streaming, using the asf locator format.Example below. http://wmservera.netbroadcaster.com/bc15/b10001005b.asf
To create a Windows Media metafile
Open a text editor, such as Microsoft® Notepad.
Type the following metafile script, replacing the URL with that of your media. Reference the media just as you would any other Web file.
<ASX VERSION="3.0">
<ENTRY>
<REF HREF="http://YourWebServer/Path/YourFile.asf" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>
You can place the metafile in the same folder as that of your media. If you do so, you can use a relative path, which is simply the name of the file. The REF line would look like this:
<REF HREF="YourFile.asf" />
Save the text file, using the name of your media file followed by the
.asx extension, for example, YourFile.asx. Windows Media Audio files
with .wma extensions are referenced the same as Windows Media files
with .asf extensions in metafile scripting. When you name the metafile,
use the .wax extension, for example, YourFile.wax.
To add a tag to an HTML file
Using a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad, open the Web page that you want to add the reference to the media to.
Add the URL of the metafile. For example:
<HTML>
<BODY>
Play this Windows Media file:
<A href="http://YourWebServer/Path/YourFile.asx">
YourFile</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Copy the Windows Media files (with .asx, .asf, .wma, and .wax extensions) to your Web server.
When an end user clicks the reference on the Web page, the metafile is downloaded and Windows Media Player opens. Windows Media Player opens the metafile and then opens and plays the file with an .asf or .wma extension from your Web server.
