mpg/mpeg videos stopping short when viewed through server

Hi,
I've created a website that has mpg files embedded in static html pages
as so:

<embed src="filename.m pg" width="165" height="175"
autostart="fals e"></embed>

First off - I know this may not be the best way to do things, but is
the only way my customer is allowing it to be done, so I can't change
that.

Now here's my problem: When viewing the pages and video clips as files
(typing in X:/files/flp/flp_01.mpg into IE), the clip launches in
Windows Media Player and is full length (1:46). When viewing the page
or clip through the web server (typing in
http://sitename.com/flp/flp_bg*.htm or more specifically
http://sitename.com/flp/flp_01*.mpg) the video clip is missing the
last 9 seconds (so it's only 1:37 in length).

I've tested this on all 20 or so videos I have throughout my site, and
it always seems to be dropping about the last 8% of the video clip (a
clip that was 1:46 dropped 9 seconds, a clip that was 5:15 dropped the
last 26 seconds, etc.)

The details: The web server is IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 Server. The
browser I'm using (if it matters, since the same thing happens with
Windows Media Player and IE) is IE 6.0. Local OS is XP Professional.
Has anybody ever seen any behavior like this? My thought is that it's
some sort of setting on the server, since it works fine until you
access it through http means on the server. Any suggestions on where I
might look to get the full videos to play?
Thanks in Advance!

Hello Java people, Been awhile since I've used Java, and when I did, it was pretty much XML stuff. Anyhow, I've got a client who needs to provide web viewers with both streaming (live) video as well as earlier recorded stuff. There are solutions for this, but they all seem to involve using a windows platform for performing conversion(s). (Either the cameras and

I wanted to show an MPEG-4 video file on a web page. I'm talking about a real iso-compliant file (with the .mp4 extension.) I've been searching on how to use mime-types but it turns out that you need to place a realvideo or quicktime file that links to the mpeg-4 file. But that's not what I want. MPEG-4 is supposed to be the standard format for video on internet (and also for other kinds of multimedia). So I want my MPEG-4 file showing...

Looking to find info/ libs on creating (small) video files. Basically what I'm looking for is a tutorial for constructing a short video... (nothing nasty: output from a transmission line simulation). I've been searching for a while now, and all I get is info for creation inside someone else's app. Rather useless for me. The sim needs to be web accessible. So I was thinking mpeg, quicktime, wmv, avi, etc.

I have a script that redirects to a file for downloading. Everything works fine EXCEPT: if the target of the redirect is type video/mpeg (extension .mpeg or .mpg), instead of prompting for download or open, IE opens a new browser window and displays garbage. I've only been able to reproduce the behavior in IE 6 running on Windows XP Professional. Everything works fine in Win2k Pro and Win2K Server (only systems tested so far). For an...

I just found this amazing video puzzle game written with the pygame library, which promises to be infinite fun - but I can't get it to decode any video file I own, except the game's own example .mpg. All I have is lots and lots of useless .avi, .mp2, .wmv, and so on... Now, the pygame.Movie documentation says the Movie class can decode `MPEG movie files'. I know little about multimedia, but I thought divx/xvid video was a variant of...

Hello! Could you give me the page with free movie player, which I could implement on my site? The player should be similar to the youtube.com players. I would like to upload photos and movies and if it would be a photo it should be resize to small (after clicking it should be enlarged) and shown on the page, and if it would be a movie it should be shown in this movie player.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
