RemyC, I had a few problems...

I went to:

   http://www.remyc.com/Scion66_rise&shine.html

and just saw a big pink square on the page, no video.

I then tried to validate the page:
 
<URL:http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A//www.remyc.com/Scion66_rise%26shine.html>

It failed validation. Many (ok, most) pages on the web do, but it helps 
to write valid html when it comes to fixing problems with your pages. 
(Also note that using an ampersand '&' in your page name might not be a 
good idea, some browsers/services may have problems with that.)

Anyway, I viewed the source of the page and found the video here:

http://www.remyc.com/rise&shine466.wmv

(Again, avoid using '&' in file names if you can.)

The server is sending this file as 'text/plain' when it should be 
'video/x-ms-wmv' (This is what tells the browser to use an application 
that can play WMV files.)

The server is running Apache, so either you or a server admin could fix 
this by adding in an .htaccess file with the following:

AddType video/x-ms-wmv .wmv

So that any file with an .wmv extension would be served properly.

If this is over your head (it is to many people) is there a server admin 
or techie who could help you with it?
