The below code should do the trick:

HTML Code:

<object NAME="Player" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" align="CENTER" hspace="10" type="application/x-oleobject"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">

<param NAME="URL" VALUE="filename.wmv"><param>
<param NAME="AUTOSTART" VALUE="false"></param>
<param name="showControls" value="true"></param>

<embed WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" align="CENTER" hspace="10" SRC="filename.wmv" TYPE="application/x-oleobject" AUTOSTART="false">
</embed>

</object>

You can add your wmv file in two ways:

1. As a link

HTML Code:

<a href="your_video_file.wmv">Click here to view the video</a>

2. Embedding the video

HTML Code:

<embed object src="your_video_file.wmv" width="320" height="240" />
