[ILUG] ubuntu dapper + firefox + embedded movies

[Stephen Shirley]

Hi,
	I've just spent the last few hours trying to get an embedded mpeg4
video file to play in a webpage when viewing it using firefox on dapper.
The answer turns out to be this:

1. Add the Penguin Liberation Front repo (
seehttp://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/doc/plf)
2. apt-get install mozilla-mplayer w32codecs
3. Use html of the following form:

<object type="video/mp4" data="http://url/to/video.mp4" height="576"
width="720">
  <param name="autostart" value="true">
  <param name="loop" value="true">
  <param name="scale" value="aspect">
  <param name="ShowControls" value="false">
</object>
