Dimensions of embedded video in Internet Explorer?

krimgelas

Hello,

I have a vcd sized movie file (dimensions 352x288) that I want to embed in
my web page. For this I use the <object> element:

===== BEGIN
<object width="240" height="196">
<param name="loop" value="false">
<param name="playevery frame" value="true">
<param name="cache" value="true">
<param name="controlle r" value="false">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="src" value="videos/myvideo.mpg">

<embed src="videos/myvideo.mpg" autoplay="true" controller="fal se"
cache="true" type="applicati on/x-mplayer" playeveryframe= "true"
loop="false"/>
</object>
====== END
I want the video to play on the website with dimensions 240x196. In Mozilla
Firefox with the mplayer plugin, this works without problem. However, in
Internet Explorer, the video file keeps playing in 352x288, even when the
dimensions of the <object> element are restricted to 240x196.

What do I have to change in order for the video file to play in 240x196?

Thank you very much for your help!

Problem solved, simply by adding width and height attributes to <embed>
element.

Image rotation and dimensions

by: John | last post by:

I am rotating images of different dimensions. My problem is that when a new image is displayed in a new position which had an image of a different dimension, the old image is first stretched to the dimension of the new image, before the new image is loaded. How can I stop this stretching behavior? See the banner images on the right at http://finialworld.com thank you John

Open set size window from embedded email

by: Sean Berry | last post by:

I have a news video that I am sending out for a client. There are embedded links to flash movies in the email. I want the popup to be a set size (400 x 400). I am currently using the following code, but the popup window is not 400 x 400, it is whatever the browser size was last time it was opened. How can I set the absolute size from within this email? Thanks.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
