Autostart

If this value is set to true/1, the video will begin playback as soon as it has buffered. Otherwise it will wait for the user to press Play.

ShowControls

If this value is set to true/1, the video transport controls will be shown (play, stop, pause, etc). If it is set to false/0, the controls will not be shown and the user will not be able to control playback at all. Obviously, in this case you would need to have autostart enabled or there will be no way to play the video.

Height: 46 pixels

ShowStatusBar

Windows Media Player Wildlife Video

If this value is set to true/1, the status bar is shown. This includes the buffering progress and playback status of the clip. Showing the status bar is a good idea as it shows the user how long they have to wait before the clip will be ready for playback

Height: 26 pixels

ShowDisplay

When set to true/1, this displays information such as the file name.

Height: 74 pixels
