Reference Materials

So why do the controls show in both instances? And for that matter what other options are available for this type of video. Since the versions of Windows Media Player are constantly changing you need to turn to a reference to understand them. A good reference is at W3 Schools at http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_playerref.asp
