I have a 65mb video which i would like my audience to view from my website using an external player or with windows media player embedded into the webpage.

I have done some research and managed to embed the video into the web page with the code below, however the video plays a little then stops then plays and so on.

I included a link so the video can be played in an external player but this takes a lifetime to open up???

Please can someone help me?

\<object border=“1” id=“MediaPlayer1” width=320 height=285 classid=“CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95”

\<embed type=“application/x-mplayer2” name=“MediaPlayer1” pluginspage = “[http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/](http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/)”

\</embed\>  
\</object\>  
\<td align=“center”\>\<a href=“video.mpg” style=‘font-size: 85%;’ target=’\_blank’\>Launch in external player\</a\>\</td\>

Thank you.
