Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 170703

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3

The above mentioned URL is in my amateur-family site. The video is showing my last grandson (8th) baptism.
Integrating a wmf (WindowsMediaFormat) file gives a truncated image, the bars (button bar and status bar) appearing under the video image do show up. I could experience the same problem whatever the source file. Nevertheless, that bug does not occur in the English version of Firefox, I could check it recently at my brother's in Singapore!
Furthermore, the rendering of the video image is not consistent with standard dimensions of the image: I have to to increase the height by 2 to 3 % in the programmed windows to get the same image proportions in Firefox and IExplorer (I don't use IExplorer anymore, but some of my family folks do...)
Frustrating.
If you want to get into my html code, feel free to do so, it's not protected.

Reproducible: Always

.WMF files are not Windows Media Format, it is actually an image format mainly for the Microsoft Clip Gallery.  WMF actually stands for WindowsMetaFile.  This is why there is no button bar and status bar.  Marking INVALID.

P.S.  The file formats for Windows Media Player are asf, asx, aiff (aif, aiff, aifc), au (au, snd), wav, wma, wm, wmv, wax, wmx, wvx, wpl.
