What is the code for making an avi play on a webpage. Kind of like Youtube, where you don't have to download anything, it just plays 'live' on the page. Thanks Smile

You'll want to look into embedding. Wink

K, gandalf, i got it working... one thing though.. Because the file i have is fairly large, it takes a good 10-15min to upload from the location, and during this time the screen on the player is blank. How do I make it play and buffer simultaneously? Thanks

I'm not entirely sure you can. Depending on the plugin used to view the embedded content on the clients machine it can buffer/play/simply save however it wants.

hmm... well when I watch diff clips, it'll say 'buffering' on some and it'll show the bar how much it has buffered. Then on my file, it won't show it
