Videos download as html
On my website I have some video downloads. There just text links linked to the video, none of this download.asp?=video.wmv, its just linked directly to the video source. The problem is that when you right click, save target as, it downloads the video as an html file, and if you left click the link, instead of opening windows media player it opens the video as an html page with loads of random text, just like if you were to drag a video into notepad. All the videos on my site are wmv format.
Anyone no how to fix this?

it's probably your Apache (or IIS or whatever) web server having a config for mimetype/file extension being wrong
try a .htaccess file with:
AddType video/x-ms-wmv .wmv
