Stupid Question?....

[JahRuhle]

I will prolly get flamed for this dumb question, but I was wondering if there is any way to make sure a video does not auto play when the site opens. I currently operate a site that has a LOT of videos, from hosts like vidBux and VidXden, when the home page loads all of them start playing at once, and I can only imagine the annoying sounds of all the videos playing at once will drive my traffic away... Is there any way to stop the auto-play?

<param name="flashvars" value="autoPlay=false" />

you might be able to append a variable to the src='' part to prevent it from auto playing
usually you'd do something like
<iframe src='video.php?id=blah&autoplay=false'> ... syntax would very depending on where you're grabbing the video from
