Workaround for Video Streaming - 3/24/2002 12:33:29   
I plan to continue adding short videos to my website as time passes. Unfortunately, my server does not offer video streaming services for windows media. Since the files are relatively small (1 meg) I am just posting a link to them and letting people download and play them. The wait isn't terribly long.

The problem I have is the .wmv file links try to open as a webpage. In order to save it, you have to right-click, save as. Even still you have to change the extension back to wmv, because frontpage makes it save as an html if nothing is specified.

Does anyone have a suggestion? To see what I am talking about personally, you can look at my page http://www.theworldview.org/tabuleiro

I would be satisfied with a simple click to save answer, but any ideas are welcome and desperately wanted.

bummer, I wanted to see your apartment!

the server needs to be configured with the proper mime type?

I don't know of other save functions, I guess you could open the movie in another browser window and then javascript a button on that page....

you might check at Microsoft. Thier IE6 can display a save button on a pic, but I dont know about movies
