> I want to create a webpage that allows the user to click on a Windows Media Player activex control and stream a video from a server to the client. I need to know exactly what is involved with doing this. I have two versions of the media player. When I look at the property sheet of the first one it has an option for streaming, but no filename option. The second one has a URL Property, but no option to stream the video. If I go to the webpage and click the play button on the media player control it just sits there and seems like it downloads the video. The video is 800 MB that's why I want to stream it.

I'm dealing with exactly the same thing presently. Did you install Windows Media Services on the server?
