frame size for windows media player

[cstv]

is there a way to force windows media player to open a video clip at 100%?

i know how to do this within the player, but i'm the one creating the content in this case, so is there a tag i can put on the link to the file that will tell the player to show at 100% rather than resizing?

tia,

In the OBJECT TAG

<PARAM NAME="displaySize" Value="0">
<PARAM NAME="Autosize" Value="1">

In the EMBED TAG

autoSize="1",
displaySize="0"


DislaySize will keep the video at original size. Autosize will override the width/height settings.

I write this down by heart so it could be slightly erroneous.

Hope this helps

try this quick hack of some code i found on microsofts site.

copy all the text after the asterixs *** into a file and call it anything.htm

then load anything.htm
