Video...need help despreately.

[MikeLuna]

I am new to HTML, but found several helpful sites. I wanted to embed a media player and found code to do so. I Put in the code and fixed the appropriate areas for my video. It worked, but only on my computer. Then I got another similar code and the player is there, but it has to download the player first. As most do, I already have windows media player, but that's ok. The problem then is that it tries to download again. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this code or how to make the site access the media player already installed in Internet Explorer. The code I used will follow.

<object id="mediaPlayer"

classid="CLSID:22D6F312-BOF6-11DO-94AB-0080C7E95"

codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"

width="240" height="252"

type="application/x-oleobject">

<param name="autostart" value="true">

<param name="filename" value="http://rooishness.tripod.com/dguawapreview.mpg">

<param name="showcontrols" value="false">

<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="true">

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/"
SRC="http://rooishness.tripod.com/dguawapreview.mpg"

width="240" height="252" autostart="1" showcontrols="0" showstatusbar="1"></embed>


</object>

That should be it. Any help would be much appreciated.

If its an avi or mpg the browser can already handle that so you can rpobably just put a link to the video on your site and explorer will take it from there. Try it, play with it, see if it works =)

huh well I tried just going to your video in my address bar and it triggered a download, but try it anyway, it could not hurt
