Mouseover movie is black until mouseover.

I am attempting to create a webpage with 4 movies on it. I would like
the viewer to see 4 stills until they 'mouseover' the still, at which
point it should play.

I am using this code:

<img border="0" dynsrc="mpegmovies/movieone.mpg" start="mouseover">

It works well, except instead of showing a still of the movie, or the
first frame, it shows a black square until you mouseover, then it
plays the movie. (It behaves like this if I use an avi instead of an
Mpeg so it's not the Mpeg format's fault) There's not much point in
having a web page open with four black squares on it.

Any suggestions as to how to get the effect I am after without
learning Java or Flash?

Thanks in advance.

Make a image of the first frame and use that for the mouseover image.
