There should be very little difference at all between those two
attributes. Basically the only real difference is how things are started
and initially downloaded. "src" is automatically downloaded by mozilla
and so the code has to be ready to handle an incoming url. "filename" is
not automatically downloaded so it must be requested.=20

There should NOT be ANY difference in the size of the output file. Since
normally that is retrieved from the file or from the embed tag.

Kevin, thanks for this explanation. This time I know what's going
wrong. I have the Adblock extension installed in Firefox and using src
in the embed tag causes the movie to be noticed by Adblock and it
sticks on a little tab at the bottom of the movie image hence
increasing the display size. The reason I'm so sensitive to this is
because all of a sudden scroll bars appear on the page where there
were none before. Using filename bypasses Adblock and everything is
fine. Turning off Adblock also fixes this problem.
