Author Embeding asf in htlm pages

Hi,

I am trying to embed asf videos produced by my camcorder into a html
page.
To do so, I have copied some code from the web (see below).
Unfortunately this does not work. More precisely:
- on Firefox: windows media player is shown on the page but its
display zone stays black and pressing the "play" button has no
(visible) effect
- on Internet Explorer: for some people the video shows up properly in
the player, for some people it behaves as in Firefox.

Since this code works on the page where I get it from and since the
only difference is the video itself, I assume there is something wrong
with the asf file. But the file plays fine locally (I mean in my
desktop, on windows) in windows media player.

Questions:
- Is this a know issue of asf?
- Should I convert my video to a different format?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Charles.
