Movie file on webpage:

[Zap]

I'm trying to get 3 .mpg files on a website to be viewed when the user
clicks on the appropriate image. My question is what would be the correct
way to implement this. I don't want the movie playing as soon as the
webpage loads nor do I want it playing when mouseover event occurs. The
files are between 1.3 and 2.3 MB. The webpage owner doesn't like the idea
of have zip files on his site. He wants the user to be able to click on the
video they want to watch. Your ideas are greatly appreciated.

TIA<

Take a screenshot of the movies and place that on the page with a link
behind it to the actual movie. Have some text that also tells the view the
size of the file. When they click the image the movie will download and
play.
