You have to link to another page with the video, not directly to the video.[/url] .
Why not? You could have a poster movie that loads a frame and then plays the video on command. I don't know about wmv but a reasonable player architecture would allow this.
EDITWell now that I've read the OP I think i sidetracked the question.

I would like to use media player and when you click on a link it opens a new window with a player in it.
So you make a regular link to a new page that then has your object tag inside of that.
