what you need is the FrontPage widows media player add-in or look at the wmp
SDK for examples of how to place the media player on the page.
I will tell you from experience if they're big movies you'll get better
"streaming" if you use a play list (titled something.m3u) even if this play
list has only one file on it.

also the wmp will provide the buttons and buffering progress indicator you
want.

I'll give you the url for the wmp add-in but you might want to look for the
WMP SDK on Microsoft's site as you'll be able to do more stuff and get
better control. (imho).
