The easiest way to do this is to not deal with embedded controls, but rather generate a WMV file, which is streamable automatically from a plain download link.

WMV is Microsoft's streaming format and most video tools support this output format including CamTasia's screen capture utility.

Hosting the ActiveX controls can be problematic with restricted security settings.

Remember though that WMV is a Microsoft specific protocol. I don't think it's supported on any other platforms.

> 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.
