I've got a bunch of video files on the server with their names and some meta 
data stored in a table.

I'm building a page that will allow a user to display the videos inline on the 
web site instead of as a direct link to the file on the server, thus launching 
the app (ie; Windows Media Player).

All's fine, however the embedded players don't auto-size to the size of the 
media. @#*@&^!!

o The QT embedded player requires a width and height number, or it hides the 
video
o The WM embedded player plays all videos small unless you supply a size

I am assuming that it may be possible to get the properties of the video file 
once it's been loaded via Javascript... if so, I should be able to plug those 
numbers in to the object / embed tags, right?

Anyone have experience with this?
