basic question on Windows media player

[janet p]

I've looked thru all the questions but didn't find an answer to my questions.
If I've competed all the wmp wizard steps, at what point do I see the actual
video?
so far, all I see is a nice little player with a blank/blank screen-both in
design view & thru the "preview in browser" (IE). The video is very large &
an avi file.
Other than downloading the wmp addon for frontpage, is there anything else I
need?
Thank you for your help!

....and, what were your original questions?

The file probably needs to downloaded first (being that you said it is a
large file, then there would be a short/long delay depending on the user's
internet connection (dialup/broadband), then it will play (i.e. not
streaming - playing while d/loading).

So, would I see the video in my "design view"... if I allow it time to
download? Large file will take a long time but it will eventually show up in
design view? Originally I wanted to use the embedded player on the page for
this large file but decided to try a link on the webpage that will open in
people's own player. Is this a better option? Thought too I'd need to have an
faq, what are the expected issues I should address? Thanks very much
