I have 9 mpgs, i have taken a screen shot of each one and all i wanted to do was for the user to click on each image which would open up WMP or Quick time or something and start playing the clip.
However when someone clicks on the link (straight to the file on the server), it begins to download the file locally to whatever machine has tried - and then plays it.
Any idea how i can click on each image (all on the one page) and somehow begin to play the clip in a format?
Thanks

You would probably need to embed the file into your web page. Do a search for 'embed mpg' (use quotes to avoid all the PrOn that floats to the top) and you'll come across lots of code examples to try out.

As simple as <EMBED SRC="myvid1.mpg"></EMBED> for example but obviously for each individual clip. Will this load up with whatever 'player' is on the persons system as default?
