Which code do you use?

An <embed> tag or an <object> tag?

Did you use autostart="0" (autostart="false" may not work)?

I have used embed and at first I did the true or false then I tried 0 and 1. I have two videos and when I go to that page they both play together. I want to turn them on manually.

Which plugin is used in your case to play the videos (VLC?) because your system details list doesn't show the Windows Media Player plugn (np-mswmp.dll)?

I installed the plug in (media player) I again tried the autostart command but it did not work. What am I missing?

Can you post a link to a public page that doesn't require authentication (log in) to access it?
Then we can inspect the code.
I'm on Linux, so can't test it with the Windows Media Player plugin, but maybe someone else can.

<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>
<autostart/play="0">
<LEFT><embed src="Gillian.wmv"   width=x(500)height =y(500)>
</LEFT><br><br>
<B><LEFT>Gillian Ghearing on TV 2012</LEFT></B>
<TD>
<CENTER><embed src="waaytv-video.wmv" width=x(500) height=y(500)></CENTER><BR>

<B><CENTER>WAAY TV Video recorded in 2011</CENTER></BR>

This is still in draft form. I tried to upload the video but it did not work.

The autostart=0 attribute needs to be inside each embed tag.

<embed src="Gillian.wmv" width="500" height ="500" autostart="0">
<embed src="waaytv-video.wmv" width="500" height="500" autostart="0">

I appreciate your effort and I am sorry to say that it did not work. I got two blank squares. I think there is something to do with Firefox because I see some references on the web.

That may be because you do not have the Windows Media Player plugin installed.

You can install the new WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll)

After a lot of effort I have decided to solve the problem by using href. It seems to work so I am done.

Thanks a lot for your help.
