Hiya -)

Just some small observations;

1. The html source is missing the trailing / at the end of the directory have you set up the mambot with a / at the end of your path?
2. If you manually add the trailing slash apache still reports a file not found.

Hope the info helps -)

peace,
spoon

When you inspect the source code of the page you will find the following line;
<embed src="http://spraytexx.com/images/stories/video/MVI_4158.avi" style="width:400px; height:323px;" autoStart="0" type="application/x-mplayer2"/></embed>

ie. The apache server can not serve up the file located at spraytexx.com/images/stories/video/MVI_4158.avi

Either you have misspelled the filename or the file is not in that directory.

I found your problem, try renaming the filename MVI_4158.avi it has an all caps extension right now (.AVI)

You may want to consider switching over from .avi format to flash video (.flv) there is an awesome freeware video encoder that converts anything into anything called SUPER! you can download it at www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html (however it does require a windows machine).

Added benefits of using the flv format is that it is much more lightweight in bandwidth than the other MPG4 avi containers (including xvid and divx) and the user doesn't need any codec at all as it plays with the already working flash based player.

kind rgds,
sp00n

For something simple like that, just use AppGeeker video converter, it convert avi files to just every video format.
