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,

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)

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,

there is also Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder that does a fantastic job!
hmmm. i think a free encoder is better than upgrading from 8 to cs3 LOL
thanks though.
