After your change mentioned above, the video opens in the WMP when
using IE6 as it should. However, unlike most other browsers, if you
click on the "download" link, you get the video to open full screen in
the WMP rather than being embedded or downloaded without playing. If
you do not have a WMP installed, or if you go into the settings and
uncheck playing wma files in the file type list, then when you click
the "download" link IE6 says it cannot open the video and gives you a
screen to select a program to open the video. I was able to select the
real player and the Winamp players to play the .wmv video file. The
important point here is that if the viewer is using IE6 for which a WMP
is not working, for whatever reason, they will be given the chance to
select another player such as Real or Winamp that also will play .wmv
video files. There are a few people out there who dislike Microsoft so
much that they will not install the WMP. Also, I believe the WMP can be
installed only on a Windows or Mac OS.
