You could always go to View Source for a web page (I know IE and Firefox can do this, as can most browsers).

If you are familiar with HTML just find the location in the source file (the written out HTML code for the page). The video source will be found in the embed tag. The video file source should show up there.

Let me know if this helps you at all.

this code should help

<html>
<body>
<embed>insert filename here and its location on the webserver</embed>
</body>
</html>

the location would be example www.hello.com/videos/amvs/blah.wmv

hope this helps

Holy shit on a stick! I didn't think ANYONE was still using that outdated tag.

Use this instead:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#h-13.3

It's the officially accepted way to embed objects into an HTML document, and is upwards compatible with XHTML 1.0/XHTML 1.1.

*shrugs* my way of thinking is "If it still works then who cares"

looking through that page, it seems to have a lot of java than just plain html, but i may have missed it.

People who want to adhere to standards and thus have a greater chance of having their content presented consistently on different rendering systems care. You don't, but from your thought process, it's apparent that you've never had to deal with that situation before.

Correct code beats "old fashioned easy code".
