I made a webpage for my son's computer with some home movies on it.
The movies are also on his computer. When I double-click a movie, a
consistent number of seconds goes by for each file, Media Player opens
up, and the movie starts playing. If I click the same movies on the
webpage I created, each movie takes a noticeably longer time to play
(it also launches Media Player, I didn't want embedded video). The
bigger the movie is, the longer the extra delay is. My links look
like:
<a href="/Media/Halloween/Halloween2002.avi">Halloween 2002</a>
I don't know the internals, but it's behaving like Internet Explorer
6.0 doesn't care whether the file is local or remote, it's going to
copy it to a temporary directory and play it from there. If that's the
case, what can I do to get IE to use the specified file directly? If
that's not the case, any help I can get to make the page run faster
would be great.
Thanks, happy holidays.
