title: Web AVI Player?
body: <p>I'm looking to play AVI files in a web browser however I can't seem to find a decent tool to do so.</p>
  
  <p>The basic WMP object embed is what I'm using right now but it doesn't really do what I'd like it to do, and I can't really implement JavaScript into it. (AFAIK I can't. I done a little digging and that's the conclusion I came to)</p>
  
  <p>I've also tried DivX though I don't really like it. It has adverts, and I've no idea if JavaScript can be included either.</p>
  
  <p>AFAIK Flash doesn't support AVI playback at all.<br />
  Does anyone know of any player at all that can play AVI files on the web, which I could possibly integrate some kind of JavaScript in (or has an API)?<br />
  Just a thought too, but would Java itself have anything like this?</p>
  
  <p>The player also needs to be able to source the files like this:<br />
  <code>file:\\Network-PC-Name\avi\avifile.avi</code></p>
