I have found that when you embed a media player on to a webpage, the video
plays back at the size of the video file and is not adapted to fit the
specified embedded player size (eg if your video size is 640 x 480 pixels and
your player size is 320 x 240 pixels).This means the video is zoomed to the
top left corner of the original video and you cannot see your video controls.

Is there any html code that can solve this problem??


Did you put between the object tags :
<param name="stretchtofit" value="true" />

Also see "cwdjrxyz" post next, for details on his testing in Mozilla /
Camino based browser (no details yet on Webkit browsers because OSX
doesn't run WMP11 <g>)
