Do video samples work?

I've finished my website about motorcycle touring in Scotland and was hoping for some feedback. The thing i really would like feedback on is if the six 1 min video samples on the DVD page are working correctly? My site address is www.onbikescotland.com, could you try and download the videos and tell me if you had any problems. Its just that I got this reply from another web design forum yesterday and it got me thinking, here it is-

'They show as clickable links not embedded. I'm using FF 2.0.0.5 (latest update). However, upon clicking on it, i'm getting: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play. Since it's an ordinary .wmv file, i shouldn't have any problems. My suggestion would be to use flash embedded video files, though. It would speed up the delivery and leave people on your site.

Hope this helps'.

I've tested the video samples at a local internet cafe and they work fine- so i dont understand, but i'm very new to web design especially video. Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated:)

only tried the first sample vid and it played fine in the latest version of windows media player.

the individual experiencing the problems may have been using an older version of windows media player which is not compatible with the current version of the wmv codec.
