Embedding WMV files on to a webpage

I am currently using DreamWeaver MX.

How do I create pages like the link below, so that videos can only be streamed and not right click save as etc.

Cheers

Dave,

That's not a video - it's flash believe it or not!

Code:

<EMBED SRC="http://u15176228.onlinehome-server.c...ntlinkthis.swf" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240 LOOP=false>

You want something like this although it may not be a true stream:

Code:

<OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width='400' height='300' classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95' codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701' standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' type='application/x-oleobject'>
<param name='fileName' value='http://myurl/myfile.wmv'>
<param name='animationatStart' value='true'>
<param name='transparentatStart' value='true'>
<param name='autoStart' value='true'>
<param name='showControls' value='true'>
<param name='showStatusBar' value='true'>
<param name='showDisplay' value='false'>
<param name='loop' value='false'>
<EMBED type='application/x-mplayer2' pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/' id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1' bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols='true' showtracker='-1' showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width='400' height='300' src='http://myurl/myfile.wmv' autostart='true' designtimesp='5311' loop='false'>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

Cheers - I'll give it a go.

The problem I have it our web hosts will not allow videos unless they are streaming.

Thanks

It's been quite a while since I have coded any streaming media. I belive that a video stream saved as a WMV file is pre-encoded so it will paly as a stream over http.

I would search google around ASF, ASX, WMA, WMV and streaming.
