| 438796 | 2006-03-16 19:56:00 | Hi, Lately i have been trying to embed a wmv onto my webpage however it seems to now work for me. i'm using a simple code with no parameters which is <embed src=my_video.wmv> which works for me when it is a .avi file but seems not to work when using wmv files. is there special code for wmv? or does someone know of a wmv to avi converter? |

| 438799 | 2006-03-16 22:35:00 | As I understand it, you need to use an Active-X control to embed a WMV file. The instructions are on the Microsoft site, but below is a sample code with some parameters included. <object id="MediaPlayer" width="480" height="384" classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" codebase="activex.microsoft.com border="0" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject"> <param name="FileName" value="filename.wmv" /> <param name="ShowControls" value="1" /> <param name="ShowPositionControls" value="1" /> <param name="ShowAudioControls" value="1" /> <param name="ShowStatusBar" value="1" /> <param name="AutoStart" value="1" /> <param name="AnimationAtStart" value="1" /> <param name="AllowScan" value="1" /> <param name="Volume" value="50" /> </object> |

| 438800 | 2006-03-17 04:58:00 | Active X won't work with Mac OS X and I am under the impression it doesn't work with FireFox under Windows. If you want to keep your visitors happy, Flash based video would probably be the best option. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 438801 | 2006-03-17 07:41:00 | I am under the impression it doesn't work with FireFox under Windows The code that Wheels posted (as it works on the TVNZ website) does work with firefox. |

| 438802 | 2006-03-17 08:44:00 | Doesn't the usual "embed" function work? <embed src="filename.wmv"> I have forgotten what's the tagline again to specify the size in terms of width and height :p Cheers :) |

| 438804 | 2006-03-20 23:15:00 | Yes, the <embed> tag is the rest of the code that's used for compatibility with the Mozilla browsers, I just posted the common code to get Jimmy started... the latest Firefox and Netscape browsers both now view ActiveX components but the embed code should make it more compatible for older browsers... And as pine-o-clean mentions in their post, google has all the answers... and much simpler than Flash based video. |
