video

[Craig]

I have a database that stores the video file name. As the user clicks on the
description I would like to launch the associated video. I have done the
similar thing with a picture but unable to do this with a video. Any
suggestions?

if you can use some server side scripting, you could just pass the parameter
to the page in a query string like video.asp?key=something.wmv, then in the
video player code just make the file name be <% key %>, or your scripting
alternative.
I've been thinking about doing something like this for a project I'm
thinking about. ;-)

I figured out my original problem. However is it possible to stream these
videos from a "standard" website hosting company? Some videos are large and
I don't want to wait to download them.

I believe if your target is an M3U file, WMP will play it as it gets it.

just google m3u and you'll get examples. it's just a play list and needs to
contain only one item.
