I am using the code below in a very basic web page i am testing to view
streaming video from a web cam. I've deliberately omitted the IP and
port.

The encoder (WME) is streaming at 58Kbps 160 x 120

The problem I am getting is in Firefox 2, in that although I specify
size of the media player in the code, Firefox refuses to expand the
height setting meaning the video appears as 'widescreen.

A screen shot is here:

As you can see, the image on the left is the Firefox display, the image
on the right is IE7

If I resize the code below to match that of the encoder settings (160 x
120) Firefox displays it correctly, but omits the status bar!

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

I don't want to stream a large picture, 160 x 120 or 240 x 180 is fine,
but I need the subsequent player to be the same size cross-browser.

Here's the code, for which i give credit to, and which came from,
