Forced Download and Web Win Media Player

First, I'd recommend using flash for your videos if you can. It's so widely supported that all the major video sharing sites like youtube and google videos use it.

Anyways, I don't know why other browsers wouldn't like the dynamic php urls. If they truly are the root of the problem, you could try mod_rewrite to rewrite their urls into more browser friendly urls. For example, /my-video-4.wmv could redirect to /myvideo.php?id=4.

If you're interested, here are a few links:

Here is a basic .htaccess file that should suit your needs (This is untested):

.htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^video-([0-9]+)\.wmv$ myscript.php?video=$1 [L,NC]

Thanks, I'll try that. It seems time consuming (lots of rewriting), but it might be the only option.
