How to start a video from command line or menu?

How can I start a .wmv video from the command line
or from an html menu so that only the video window opens?

From the command line, I can type: mplayer samplevideo.wmv
and that opens a terminal window and starts mplayer,
but how can I do that without having the terminal window also open
so that only the target video opens?
