After converting your videos, then embed them on your website. If you are similar with DW, you can insert flash video directly. But when you only know FrontPage, it’s a little difficult, at first add “Shockwave Flash Object” to “Advance” option in the “ insert” menu. Secondly chose to insert “ActiveX control” option. Then double the white zone on the page, set the of “ActiveX control”, you can see your flash video clearly.
