Adding .avi file

[Toby]

Thanks Carl. The easiest solution is to upgrade my camera & software to a
more modern program that will capture the movies in .wmv format. Perhaps
'09 will be kind and I can accomplish this down the road. Thanks for the
reply! Happy Holidays!

I am attempting to add a daily movie to my website that is captured from my
webcam. I can go into Custom Components/Windows Media Player and set up WMP
on my web page. My problem is that the .avi file I am wanting to run
automatically uploads to the off-site server that hosts my yo whatsapp site. In the
Windows Media Player property tab my only options are to navigate to the
..avi file locally. I hope I am just missing something simple here, but
shouldn't there be a way to tell the Windows Media Player within NOF to
navigate to an .avi file located on the web? (fake example -
http://www.mywebsite/camera.avi)

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks!
