We often send emails in HTML for clients (Dont like it but not my choice)
Does anyone have any info or a link on support for the dynscrc attribute or img in email clients?

A:
My solution here would be to have a screenshot (perhaps with a 'click to watch' overlay) of your movie that links to a non-mail page that has a player in it.
Dealing with html email, in my experience, isn't so much about having standards as it is learning to compromise. Web client and (the increasingly rare) desktop clients have differing behaviors that make website browser compliance seem like preschool by comparison.

I know what you mean and Im familiar with all that- Im just trying to acertain the level of support (I know it can work in outlook 200-2003) and make a case to my client for or against

Forget dynsrc. It doesn't work reliably in IE and it doesn't work in any other browser, and that's even before considering the varied limitations of mail clients and webmail services, and the difficulty of pushing something as large as a base64-encoded video file down the mail tube.
As ben said, link to a plain old web page including a Flash player.
