so i make these video clips in two formats. everything plays fine. then i put them online - and suddenly i can't play the mpgs. the wmvs play fine. i can't get the mpgs to play in my media player while they're online, although they do play fine in my quicktime. i download the video that is now online, and it plays fine from my harddrive. wtf???
so... how many of you can see this video clip? it's around 10mb, so please give it a minute to load...

thanks!
Greetings:
Loads fine for me Bass. Keep in mind, mpg isn't a great format to be streaming in though.....
i offer more than one format always... and i've never had problems with any mpg before - i used an old codec on this one, too...
It doesn't play for me - not sure why
Allan
it plays for me but u can't do that 2 me, "that's hot"
i want to see it all lol
Tried it while on AOL - loads into mediaplayer, and from IE loads using quicktime ... so had no problems here.
okay, just for you ;)

With that in mind, mpeg has been around a lot longer and obviously has a much different format. For mpegs, ESPECIALLY longer playing/bigger files, the buffering takes FOREVER sometimes and simply times out..thus won't play. Heavy internet traffic, your cpu doing other things slowing down processing speed while you are trying to download the stream, etc etc will sometimes stop mpegs in their tracks. That's why I do nothing but wmv's now. (WMV's..Weapons of Mass Video!)
thanks for your input, all!
Ive 'heard mpeg1 files stream pretty good, maybe it depends what app u use to render?Quote:

in all these years, they are the only mpgs that won't play for me online. something this video encoder is doing must be the problem.

its the same video see if the htm code makes any deference.
let me know.
curiousbunny - thanks :)
nope - still doesn't play. i actually tried that earlier - i had problems with my last computers playing wmvs, but in certain player codes, i could watch them.
oh well was worth a try lol
mine opens in quicktime within the webpage.
You will proly need to render the clips again with a different tool.
i could play it in quicktime, which is my default in firefox.
yeah, i guess i do. too bad - the program i used was SO fast and SO easy. still, if people can't see it, that's not good :(
no not loading yet for me
okay, trying the same encoding program with a different codec.
can everyone see this one?
