Hi I have a few videos that I want the users going to my website to be able to download, I jsut want the thumbnail of the video to showup on the website and when my users click on the thumbnail then it will get downloaded to their computers..how can i do this??..I do not want the video to start playing immediately as soon as the user goes to my website, i want them to downloaded first before they can view it..thank you...i have frontpage 2002

You can zip the video or ask them to right click & save to their computer. But depending on how most people have their browsers set up, it will start playing. Having said that, this also might work for you: http://www.allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl?Download_a_file

thanks for your help but there is nothing on those links about frontpage 2002 , i do not know html and i dont even know how to insert the file in frontpage and make it downloadable.

Well just by using all the FP extras, I do not think that it can be done. You can ZIP it & then create a link to it via FP. But that seems to be the only way to do that via FP.
