Video Streaming On Web

Hello folks! I am trying to stream some video on the web. I rendered a small clip to .wmv

Using Microsoft Frontpage I used the windows media player plug-in and NOT the active x control. My hosting company supports streaming media.

My problem is that when you enter into the website the movie starts to
stream. I would like it if the person was allowed to start the stream and pause. The reason for this is beacasue I would like to place a few videos on the page. If I were to do this now ALL the videos will play?

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Alex

Check out page nine. Essentially you have to add parameters to tell WMP what to do, the one your looking for is :

<param name="AutoStart" value="False">

The pdf should explain where and how to do this.

Good luck !

You could just put a thumbnail that is a link to the video, or just a link for that matter.

Thanks Muttly, I went to the site you suggested and found a link to Microsoft's frontpage add-in centre and found the PERFECT download!

I downloaded a windows media player 9 plugin that behaves exactly the way I wanted!

Thanks again!
