Browser windows aren't really the best place to host moving video
images while decoding them on the fly, it's just a fact of life.
To work around this, you should ensure your site designer is aware of
the possible issues and design the window so the other content doesn't
have to be scrolled.
If other content *must* be scrolled, you can scroll a specific part of
the screen by setting (eg) the right-hand potion of the window to use
a DIV with a height, width and scroll:auto in the CSS.
In WMP in IE6 or later, you may gain extra benefit to overcome this
effect a little by setting in the objec tags
<param name="windowlessvideo" value="true" />
Currently in the IFrame you're getting from players.mediazone.co.il,
they are setting windowlessvideo="0" explicitly. Unless you have some
control over what they output, you may have to investigate scripting
of the player control to set that property using javascript - which
probably won't work cross-domain in your case.

But just that I understand in simple English; Are you saying that there are
ways to fix the problem? even if other content *must* be scrolled? Is it a
big deal to fix it in php? (I am preapering myself for my programer reply).

You may have to rearrange the layout of your web page so that in CSS
you can specify position:absolute for the container which you display
the media player in.

PHP is completely unrelated to the problem. It's a HTML+CSS problem
with a small amount of modifying the actual code the player uses to
display.
Since we don't know if you "own" the code displaying the player, it's
not going to help to say anything unless you can say "Yes, we deliver
the page hosted on the server players.mediazone.co.il, and we are able
to modify that page to make it work better.
The player we use in http://coull/tv/node/149 for example doesn't
appear to "tear" when the page is scrolled, using IE6/Win2000/WMP9 but
your mileage may vary, it's browser dependent.

The link to the player you indicated has the same TEAR problem, as both
player suffer from Giggling problem when scrolling up or down the page.
If I understood you correctly you wrote that you/Microsoft may look in to it
if I will actually confirm to you that I own the site as well as the codes?
Please clarify, as the link I sent you is to a site I visited but have no
relation to, My site, where the same player is in, will be up and working on
my server in couple of weeks from now and as such I would like to take you up
on your offer (if I understood it correct), and have you fix the player’s
Giggling problem then.
On the other hand if I miss understood you, and you guys don’t provide such
support, I would still like to understand if this problem can be fixed by my
programmer and that is why I wanted to see if you can clarify your answer
from last week by giving me a simple answer of Yes or No and if yes that is
what the programmer will have to do…
Finally, I would appreciate if you kindly reply direct to my email
Bena...@benavi.net just to make my life easier to get your reply on time.
Thanks much,
Avi
