Not to open us a can of worms, but how did this web master get his/her video to play so quickly from windows media player. Mine took much longer to upload.

Thanks. Allen
p.s. here is the code I used.

I don't see any video links on the page you mentioned. Am I missing something?

They just link directly to the wmv file. It may start more quickly because it's only 19 seconds long.

Simple..

On that site, the videos are not embedded – the link points to the .wmv file http://www.worldhapkido.com/videos/sparring01.WMV

For i.e.,

On your site, you have the media player embedded
http://www.spindelsportsacademy.com/corefitness.htm

You can place a link to your movie likeso http://spindelsportsacademy.com/videoclips/corefitness.wmv and will load as fast as the other site.

If you ask me, the difference between your site and the other one was less then 5 seconds on my connection.
