Problem with .MPG files on Mac Browser
« on: June 21, 2003, 10:39:07 PM »
First let me say that this is a great script.

I've had no problems with JPGs, but I have some MPGs that I'd like to display.  This is specific for Mac computers.  I can upload them and create a generic thumb nail, but when I try to view it, my browser doesn't know what to do with it.

Check out this link:
http://www.bigari.com/~mush/picts/details.php?image_id=240

Does it come up for anyone else?  

Here is the file by it self.  It comes up with no problems:
http://www.bigari.com/~mush/picts/data/media/15/MOV00018.MPG

Any idea how I can get quicktime to recognize that it is a MPG file?

Thanks for any tips--   And great script!!!

Tried it on my Mac using OS9.  It looks like it's trying to use the Windows Media Plater plugin.

Don't know what to tell ya:( .  I'll try on my board.

mush,
I tried uploading your MPG to my album and got this error:

Error uploading image file:
MOV00018.MPG: Invalid file type (MPG, video/x-mpeg)

Although I tried uploading a .MOV and it works fine.  Maybe you should try to convert it to a .mov

Can you point me to the MOV file on your board?  I want to see if it uses QT on my browser.

Thanks

I tried the movie on Mac OS 10.2 and it works using Safari and Internet Explorer... It displays the movie right in the page using QuickTime..  The controls for QT are slightly cutoff at the bottom though..

Hexor,


Hmmm...    You can get it to work, and I can't.  I'm going to play around with it somemore.  I'm also going to try to change the filename to .MOV and see if that works.

Thanks

Tried changing the name to .MOV and I couldn't open the file using QT.   So now I'm at a loss...
