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.

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.

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?
