Video mpeg files - Netscape problems

Netscape reads them as text files?

[doobie]

Trying to insert a video clip (mpg) into an HTML file. (using IE 5.5 and NN 4.7)

IE launches Windows Media Player and plays it fine. Netscape reads it as text. [NO problems playing mpegs on other sites!]

Apparently at the server level (UNIX) the MIME types are set up for .mpg and .mpeg. A recommendation was that we can try to to force netscape to play the music is maybe use a line of code like the following: <EMBED SRC="MyMovie.mov", WIDTH=150, HEIGHT=250 CONTROLS=TRUE> ??

What are we missing?

doobie,

Check to make sure that Navigator is set up to handle the MIME types you are using - I'm not sure that it is, "right out of the box."

Edit->Preferences->Applications->(MIME types)

I'm no expert on this subject, but I had the same problem once, and defining the handler application for Navigator was the fix.

Good luck!
