    Default Beat Windows Media Player into submission, force a window size.

    Hi, new user here...in more ways than one.

    I would like to link to a video file from a web page to play in an external player. (such as Windows Media Player) I have this link:

    <a href="./video/Circuits_01c.wmv" style='font-size: 85%;' target='_blank'>Closing the Circuit</a>

    The question is how would I force the player to a certain size, 600 x 400 for example?

    Thanks.

    If the video's resolution is 600&#215;400, all the video players I've seen will adjust the window size to fit it, although I don't know about Windows Media Player.

    Hi,

    Sorry I should have been a little clearer. The video clip is 320 x 240 and I want to force it to display larger. (say 600 x 400) Not sure if this is doable, but thought I'd ask.

    Just resave at the same bitrate and you should be fine. There's no way that I know of.
    Using Quicktime embedded in the page, you could set the size that way. You could also try embedding in flash, but I can't remember if flash accepts wmv, or just mov, though perhaps avi would work.
