Displaying WMV comments

You know with a wmv file, if you right click > Properties > Summary (simple, not advanced), there is a box called comments where you can put a discription of the video or whatever. But is there a way of viewing the comments for a video through your browsers?e.g. "www.yourwebsite.com/video.wmv?showcomments". Might be a bit of a long shot but it will really help me if this is possible.

Cheers! Smiling

These comments are embedded in the META data of the file, similar to ones on images that hold the date/time the picture was taken and stuff. To view these you would need some software on the server that could extract them and present them in the browser. There is no way to do this directly.
