Freeway makes this almost absurdly easy from a technical standpoint,
no matter which format you choose for your movie.
For QuickTime, or anything QuickTime can play directly:
Open a Finder window where you can see the movie.
Position this window so you can still see it while Freeway is open
(you might need to reduce the size of your Freeway window if you have
it maximized).
Drag the movie from Finder into your Freeway page. Position it
where you like on the page, and use the Inspector to change the
visibility of the playback controls and the auto-play preference.
For Flash Video (FLV):
Use the Action tool to draw an instance of FLV Player on your page
where you want the video to appear.
Use the Actions palette to choose the FLV file you want to play,
and the interface style you want to use.

Can anyone assist with some resources to review on incorporating
video clips into a page without relying on one of the “tubes” to
source the clip.
I’m looking for direction so that I may study it first, then attempt
to incorporate it.
If I have trouble, then I can ask a specific question.
Right now, I’m learning first and only asking questions after I’ve
attempted to do what I’ve learned about.
I feel kind of stupid asking such a simple question.
I had an idea about the Quicktime and FLV options.
I guess I need to restate the question with this qualification…
How do I establish a video viewer for other types of movie files, that will be quick to load. I’m looking into another embedded player (i think it’s called a container) called flow player.
Lot’s of nice features, small, powerfull, etc.
Also has a lot of java items that assist in adding a little “sizzle” to the page.
Business sucked these past two years, and I’ve had to revert to “rolling my own” for the web work.
I chose freeway as it is a nice interface, and is easy to use.
The downside is that sometimes freeway presents some head scratching moments.
