Here's something for you to try in Chrome. (or Firefox if you want to
try also)

This is a short video my wife took with her iPhone. She claims she has
learned how to play our piano. :-)

It was originally a .mov file in her iPhone.

I converted it to an .avi file and then to a .wmv file using Windows
Movie Maker.

Then, I uploaded it to Photobucket. If you right click on it, it shows
it is playing using the Adobe Flash Player, however Photobucket lists
it as a .mp4 file.

Be interesting to see if your computer can view it in Chrome or Firefox.

'Mack the Knife' -- Chrome is a 'yes'.

Firefox and IE are both a 'no'.



Then the answer is, you have a setting doing this to you in both firefox
and IE.




Yup. I wish I knew what to tell him what his problem is. Firefox
should ask for a missing plug-in. If installed, it should play. It
plays fine using Firefox on my laptop via the Flash player in Firefox
even though Vista can't directly play .mp4 files.
