Help with Video problem

by douglast . Updated 23 years, 2 months ago

Thanks for reading this… I created a web site that I burned onto CD’s and mailed out ot a bunch of people to showcase something. This website was really just a front end to a bunch of documents and videos, giving these people an easy tool to browse around and look at our stuff.

The CD/Web Site worked for most people but I did get some calls where the videos would not play. I used all AVI videos using Intel Indeo 3.2 Codec which is supposed to be very common and delivered with Windows OSsince Windows 95. I tried this CD on a bunch of differentmachines myself without a problem, but did have a problem on a Win 2000 machine running IE 5.5. Basically when you click on a video, instead of a window popping up which plays the video – a blank window pops up with no video (just a blank white page). I don’t get an error messgae saying that I need to download a video codec or anything….

Is there something special you need to code for AVI files in your HTML pages to get them to work on all OS’s / IE & Netscape versions? I realize this is hard to answer without sitting here and seeing the problem first hand…

Thanks
