This is simply because the other computer did not have the required codecs
for showing the video...The problem is not due to any programming error....

try opening a video file which plays perfectly on that pc from your app...

Here is what I have so far: Private Sub...

I'm working on project that plays movies using Windows Media Player and I'm controlling everything with JavaScript. Per the client I only need to support IE 6 or greater which happens to make things a bit easier. What I need to do is create a playlist and play it using JavaScript. I keep on getting close but not close enough to play the dang files. Has anyone done this before and can shed some light on what worked for them?
