title: how to embed WMV files in my html file
body: <p>i have made some demo movies in WMV format that i want to embed in my html page.
  I've found some code to do that, but one thing annoys me: it shows a black front in stead of a picture of the first frame.
  And i can ofcourse put some descriptive text around the frames/movies, but it isn;t such a nice sight: all black squares with a play button beneath it.
  What do i have to do to show a (first) frame of the movie?</p>
  
  <p>This is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Microsoft® Windows® Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsm p2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112"&gt; 
  &lt;param name="filename" value="http://www.ladieda.com/mymovie.wmv"&gt; 
  &lt;param name="autoStart" value="false"&gt; 
  &lt;param name="showControls" value="true"&gt; 
  &lt;param name="AllowChangeDisplaySize" value="true"&gt; 
  &lt;param name="ClickToPlay" value="true"&gt; 
  &lt;embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" SRC="http://www.ladieda.com/mymovie.wmv" AutoStart="false" &gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
  &lt;/object&gt;
  </code></pre>
