Thanks for the helpful tutorials you have provided so far.  I look forward to new ones.

At this point my primary interest in the Expression suite is displaying video on my web pages.  I am glad to see the tutorial on integrating Flash using Expression Web.  How can I display Windows Media?  I don't see any media controls in Expression Web (like I have in Dreamweaver).  Will this need to be done in Expression Blend, and then imported into Web?  Can I even use the XAML based code created in Blend in the pages created in Web?  Or must this go through Visual Studio? Tutorials on how to achieve this integration would be greatly appreciated.

I see the fantastic demos of video with Silverlight, etc., but at this point would love to just get a simple video to play.  It would be even better if my users had a choice to play Quicktime as well as Flash and WMV.

As far as I know, there's no simple way in EW to add video, but you can enter the code yourself, as its pretty simple;

<*embed width="100" height="100" src="YourMovie.wmv" autostart="false">

That will be the simplest way for you to go about it. Just take out the * and swap the info to match your's.

As for Blend, VS, etc, right now there's really no way to use XAML with EW or a web browser unless you're using a SilverLight app in the browser. MS is going to really push Silverlight for using video online I think, but I haven't played with it enough yet to tell you how to do it. I do know that you can edit and export videos from Expression Media for Silverlight, but I have to do some more research about bringing that onto a web page.

My wife has given birth to our twins, so I'm still going to be spotty around here. It never seems to correct itself does it? I'm sorry, I'm trying.
