Adding Video

I have made  a modeling program within Microsoft Access.  I have have connected the Access Database to Dreamweaver anr would like to show a video of each model within Windows Media.  I would like to be able to select the models name within Dreamweaver and have a button or hyperlink to push to play the video of the model.  There are about 100 different models and therefore about 100 different short videos.  I can maintain the videos within the Access database however how do I tell Dreamweaver to play the video for the model.  I am very new at this so basic instructions are appreciated.

Hi,

I'll just say if this is an ASP-scripted site I won't have much to contribute on that front, but I can talk a bit about embedding the video. First, some questions:

1) Is the video actually in .WMV format? If so, you may want to think about re-encoding it in a more universal format if possible.

2) Is it stored as data in the database, or just as links pointing to the locations of the files?

The videos are .MPG however i could change the format if necessary.

They are not stored in the database, the database contains the links pointing to the location of the file.

I am using Dreamweaver with ColdFusion.
