Need help getting started with jQuery media plug-in
I'm new to jQuery and I'm trying to figure out how to get started with the media plug-in. I started at the following link:
http://malsup.com/jquery/media/#overview . The sample scripts and pages assume that you know how to use jQuery. Are there any complete sample html files that use the plug-in?
Here is what I have done:
1. I've downloaded jquery-1.4.2.js, jquery.media.js and the jQuery starter kit.
2. I tried to download the jQuery metadata plug-in but the link
http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/metadata/jquery.metadata.js returns web page cannot be found.
3. I've tried the html below. On firefox I get a quicktime player that is cropped on both the right and left so that I can't start the video and a WMV player that won't start the video. On IE the QT player comes up with a question mark and disappears and a WMV player that won't play.
I'm sure this is something simple, I just need to get pointed in the right direction.

Here is my sample HTML file:
<html lang="en>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.media.js"></script>
<title>jQuery plug-in Test Page</title>
</head>
<body onLoad="$('.media').media();">
<a class="media" href="file:../../../testData/movies/BelizeTimelapse.mov">Belize
.MOV</a>
<a class="media" href="file:../../../testData/movies/THE_PEACEMAKER_01.wmv">Peacemaker .wmv</a>
<a class="media" href="file:../../../testData/movies/BelizeTimelapse.mov">Belize
.MOV</a>
<a class="media" href="file:../../../testData/movies/THE_PEACEMAKER_01.wmv">Peacemaker .wmv</a>
</body>
