Author IE7 won't play wmv files (IE6 does)

I need to have several movie files on my web site that autoplay and don't
show controls and loop forever. The only way I've been able to do to date is
to insert a picture file and use the video options. The problem is I just
updated to Internet Explorer 7 and now they don't show in my browser. The
other 3 computers still running IE6 in the office here still show them. My
prefered format has been wmv because when I convert the original gigantic avi
files that I've created in a 3D program to get smaller file sizes, wmv is the
only format that seems to retain any sort of decent quality while reducing
the size considerably.

Suggest your post to the IE and/or Windows Media newsgroup(s) as this is not a FP related issue.
