here's an example of how to embed a movie (obviously you'd have to change the source)...

to make it loop just add <PARAM NAME="Loop" VALUE="true"> under <PARAM NAME="AutoSize" VALUE="1">. This will make it loop indefinitely.

I think WMP plays .avi's. Have you tried it yet to see if it plays? you might have to add.....

file:///C|/Pathtovideo/yourvideo.avi if your using an offline editor. That is what i had to do, so it knew where to look for my video.

But dont forget when you upload them both, you take out everything except yourvideo.avi if not, it will play to you, but no one else. :-)

i played a 10 second video from a truck show i went to and it instantly loaded and played and i'm on a p2 233mhz compaq 80 megs...so if it will fun on this dino, im sure your setup it newer/faster.

it told me error on page first, then it loaded a lil later...i dont know what you saved it as...but maybe

<param name="Filename" value="http://www.geocities.com/elab1232000/chomp..avi">

the chomp..avi........did u name the file chomp. or just chomp?
that's the only running prob i saw..but i'm not a WMP expert

Webmarkart,

How do I increase the size of the media player. Tried playing with all the params, but can't make it any larger. Thought I could do so by changing the video file size, but that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Be careful changing the size though, the proportions can get messed up prety easy.
