Although you haven't responded yet, you may also want to refer to the code I posted in this thread for Rambosko . It is a variation on the same Windows Media Player object and embed controls (for cross-browser compatability), to allow the video to play and work perfectly within all major browsers (eg: MSIE, Netscape/Mozilla, and Opera browsers)

The only difference there is that I had a new "pop-up" window (containing the video) sized to the video file itself opening on its own, instead of with a "select" menu with the video embedded right into the page.(as was done at the Wacky Videos page at my site).

Here is the code you all want. I used it to show music videos when I was the webmaster for CRUNK Magazine. It will play .avi, .mpeg, .mov, .swf, and all sound file types except for .rm.

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="195" width="340" name="CRUNKCinema" align="left">
          <param name="src" value="movietrailers/trailer_sma.mov">
          <param name="autoplay" value="true">
          <param name="controller" value="true">
          <embed height="195" width="340" align="left" src="movietrailers/trailer_sma.mov" autoplay="true" controller="true">
          </embed> 
        </object>

Enjoy
