that works in IE anf Firefox for me but not Opera, Opera just shows the text
in the wvx file where the video should be...
but as i said it might be my settings, and if its my settings it could be
everyones settings, which makes
the decision not to embed potentially more problematic than i thought.

ooh this works fine in IE Opera and Firefox

hmmm, for the time being the server belongs to 1&1, i just put the wmv file
on some space i have with them but at the moment the website (and wvx file)
linking to it is
not on 1&1, though hopefully soon i will be able to bring them all together
in the same place and do some more fiddling to get it working...

though it has got me thinking about the embed or not to embed argument and
whether or not the default security (would it be security?) settings on
peoples browsers would
stop the redirector file from working, in which case they may have to go
changing their settings which they may be scared of, or not know how to do,
whereas embedding would mean they might just
have to download a plugin to get it to work arghghg oh its confusing me now,
i wish i was more technically minded. Anyway i shall attempt soon to get
them all together on the same server in the same folders and see what
happens then. so i may be back at a later date to bother you again if thats
ok.. jeez i hate hangovers.

thanks again for everything.
