   Hi there!

   I've parameter as type="video/msvideo" disappeared after I've inserted posts later. I've edited it again and soon it disappeared again. Why?
   If there is no "type" parameter, embedded video control doesn't work correctly, so people cannot see videos. This bug needs to be fixed, I suppose.

   The EMBED tag is invalid anyway. It's not HTML, it's not XHTML... use a proper OBJECT tag instead.

   I can't resolve my situation. I need to put .avi video on my page. It shouldn't be a link, it should be playable object as using EMBED. So, if I have a link to my video, for example http://localhost/videos/myvideo-01.avi, how to put it on wordpress site correctly in order to that file shouldn't downloads (buffering) in background. The only way I can do this is to put EMBED tag with variable (type="video/msvideo"), which just diappearing later by itself. After it disappearing, video doesn't work. how to do it CORRECTLY with OBJECT tag only? I don't want my file being downloaded just when page being loaded, I want it to be buffered when client clicks on "Play" button ;-)
   And also, IE blocks unsafe ActiveX controls, it is boring to clients who views my page.
