    Can some one point me to a reliable site that shows the proper code to use when embedding the Windows Player into my web pages? I have a 30MB .avi movie that won't play on my site.

    thanks in advance,

    I could be mistaken, but I didn't know you could embed avi or mpg. I've only seen asf/wmv as the usual embedded files, plus other misc types such as flv.

    In my experience, avi or mpg files always open the player you have associated.

    Try this:

    <html>
    <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="test.avi" width=240 height=232 name="MediaPlayer" autostart="False" ShowStatusBar=0 ShowControls=1 Loop=1>
    </html>


    Copy and paste into a text file and save to your Desktop as test.htm or whatever. Put an avi file called "test.avi" on the Desktop.

    Double click on test.htm - you should see WMP in a browser window with your avi file, like this:



    If not, maybe your browser doesn't support embedded objects (either at all or you have disabled them).
