Creating customs controls for a embeded video

How do I create custom controls for an embeded video. I need stop,
play, pause, etc. Any thoughts?

Although I used no javascript, I find that the video and control bar do
not show when script is turned off on Firefox, and likely all other
browsers. My guess is that the WMP is using script within the WMP
program, and Microsoft likely would use their Jscript.

The situation is completely different when you use the Real player
rather than the WMP. If you turn off javascript for the browser, the
Real player still pops up and plays normally using either the classic
ram files or using SMIL. Unlike the WMP, the Real player apparently
does not use internal script that depends on the settings of the
browser.

The Real player will play many more file types than the WMP also,
including the Windows audio and video files as well as support most of
W3C SMIL2. The unfortunate thing is that many more computers have the
WMP installed than have the Real player installed. However there is
nothing to prevent you from offering both Windows and Real versions of
audio and video files on a web page.

The Real player does act strange in one respect. It will play both
Windows audio and video files locally on the computer. However, when
you stream the media from a server, the audio files are played
normally, but only the audio portion of a Windows video file is played.
I so far have not been able to find out what is causing this strange
action. Of course you can overcome this problem by providing a Real
video file for the Real player.
