Playing WMV Video in FireFox

Asked by rkorts in Firefox Web Browser

Tags: WMV, FireFox 5.0, www.entropic.com/video1.htm

We have a wmv video. It plays fine in IE & Firefox.

But in FireFox it shows the video in a smaller window and it shows the controls, even though the objext tags say not to.

Here is the <Object> HTML:
<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="385" HEIGHT="219" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="wmv/ENTROPIC_2008_12-29-07_512k.wmv">
<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="false">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="wmv/ENTROPIC_2008_12-29-07_512k.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="385" HEIGHT="219" ShowControls="0" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="1"> </EMBED>
</OBJECT>

The attached files show the way it looks in IE 6 and in FireFox.
