wmv files

[Guest]

I'm trying to get some Photostory files to play from a website and when I
click on the link I get a bunch of garbage where I should be seeing the
movie. Here is the code from the site. Thanks.

<h2 align="center"><a href="SpringCamporee2005.wmv">
<img border="0" dynsrc="SpringCamporee2005.wmv" start="fileopen"></a></h2>
<h2 align="center">Spring Camporee - Fort de Chartres</h2>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center"><a href="beaumonthike.wmv">
<img border="0" dynsrc="beaumonthike.wmv" start="fileopen"></a></p>
<p align="center"><b><font size="5">Overnight Hike
- Beaumont</font></b></p>

First, get id of the img tag with the dynsrc. It's not part of HTML and not
a good way to embed part of a movie into a page. That could be part of the
problem as I'm not sure if the dynsrc attribute was ever designed to work
with a modern wmv as it comes from IE 5 and hardly anyone ever used it (I
think this is only the second time I've ever seen it used). Your best bet is
to have a regular image that you can have link to the video file and see
what happens.

I looked up that dynsrc also as I had never heard of it. The
references I saw put it all the way back to IE 3.5! Either
way, it is not valid html.
Best thing to do would be to use a valid, cross platform
coding.

<object type="video/x-ms-wmv" data="URL-of-media.wmv"
width="160" height="120">
<param name="src" value="URL-of-media.wmv" />
<param name="autostart" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
</object>
