For start of video or a sound


<IMG DYNSRC="12.mpg" START="FILEOPEN" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="250">

or

<embed src = "12.mpg" width = "400" height = "350" autostart = "true" loop = "False">

Because its not valid html, and as a result, causes WAI compliance problems.

(Object is the correct solution, but IE<7 doesn't support it. Groan).

There are a variety of solutions, most of which vary in their sneaky use of flash. Its the *only* area I really advocate the use of flash as a top-tier solution.
