| I have large avi files to stream and I have the media player embedded in the page, but can't stream? Do the url's to the file need to be directed to the same as the html? |

First of all, AVI-files may not stream on all mediaplayer.
Convert the .AVI to a flash-movie using Adobe Flash MX 2004.
(Yes, it's Adobe, they've bought Macromedia)
It's better to stream video by flash than regular AVI-files, since 99,73% of the internet-users has the flashplayer installed.
(Statistic from my website)
Some examples:

| What about converting the file to windows media and use an asx file to stream. Will that work? I have flash MX but I hate that program- too much ready involed to get to know all the tricks. |

Well, only Windows has Windows Media Player, so it wont work with Linux for example, unless you have a plugin for Mozilla. Windows Media Player also slow down the rest of the website. |
