Help with video address

my website www.suttonbaymediavideo.com has an embedded video player. I uploaded my mpg and now I need to know how to get it into the player. What is the address of my video clip?

<param name='fileName' value="http://servername/path/to/media.file">
I think this goes here:
<param name='williamhthielen.mpg'

but what goes here:

value="http://servername/path/to/media.file">

I think this:
<param name='fileName' value="http://servername/path/to/media.file">
should be changed to this:
<param name='fileName' value="http://www.suttonbaymediavideo.com/williamhthielen.mpg">

If williamhthielen.mpg exists in a subfolder adjust accordingly.

Good luck,
Kevin

Can you help again with my video size?
It all worked great, it just isn't the size of my player, which it should be. I found a thread about a quicktime viewer that said this:
" You need to add a SCALE="TOFIT" attribute to your EMBED tag, and a <PARAM NAME="scale" VALUE="tofit"> to the PARAMs of your OBJECT."

But I can't figure out where this goes in my code.

<!-- begin embedded WindowsMedia file... -->
<table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="center">
<tr><td>
<OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="285"
classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95'


codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version

=5,1,52,701'
standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...'

type='application/x-oleobject'>
<param name='fileName'value="http://www.suttonbaymediavideo.com/WilliamThielen.wmv">
<param name='animationatStart' value='true'>
<param name='transparentatStart' value='true'>
<param name='autoStart' value="true">
<param name='showControls' value="true">
<param name='loop' value="true">
<EMBED type='application/x-mplayer2'
pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/'
id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1'
bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1'
showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width="320" height="285"
src="http://servername/path/to/media.file" autostart="true" designtimesp='5311'

loop="true">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

Thanks so much for the help! I searched for the last hour on the web trying to find the answer, and it's so nice to be able to ask for help here.

Heh, you're stretching my knowledge and abilities here, but I'll take a WAG at it. Try the following:
Code:
<!-- begin embedded WindowsMedia file... --> <table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="center"> <tr><td> <OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="285" classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95' codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version =5,1,52,701' standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' type='application/x-oleobject'> <param name='fileName'value="http://www.suttonbaymediavideo.com/WilliamThielen.wmv"> <param name='animationatStart' value='true'> <param name='transparentatStart' value='true'> <param name='autoStart' value="true"> <param name="scale" value="tofit"> <param name='showControls' value="true"> <param name='loop' value="true"> <EMBED type='application/x-mplayer2' pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/' id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' SCALE="TOFIT" bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1' showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width="320" height="285" src="http://www.suttonbaymediavideo.com/WilliamThielen.wmv" autostart="true" designtimesp='5311' loop="true"> </EMBED> </OBJECT>
Good luck,
Kevin
