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.

I'm guessing a "security" or "privacy" setting, the same on both because
he probably had IE installed first and then when he installed Firefox,
it "imported" IE settings, along with bookmarks, et cetera.

Try uninstalling flash and downloading the latest version. Firefox needs
a plug in. I think flash is one of the ones that loads "bonus" software
if you don't un check it. Watch every screen you come to in the install
process.

The white one is the Kawia digital baby grand that we had in Florida.
It's upstairs in the "other" living room. The one in the video is a
standard, acoustic baby grand that has a QRS Pianomation system
installed in it. It's the black one near the main entrance to the house.

I've done that a couple times. Flash (12.0.0.43) wants to load Chrome, and maybe MacAfee, but it's
bypassable. I've got the latest version on both IE and Firefox, and 'always activate' is the
setting.

They work in Chrome. That's good enough.
