You have something very strange going on. First see my page at
http://www.cwdjr.info/temp/NGdriving2.php . Since this video streams at
about 2 Mbps, it will only start streaming without much buffering on a
very good broadband connection. Here the essential video code of the
type you are using is working just fine on IE6, Mozilla family, and
Opera. Everything is on my domain. However if I substitute the url for
your wvx file, the code does not work right. However when I use my
embedded player with reference to your wvx file it works in the
mentioned browsers. Besides the missing space I mentioned, the type
should be type="video/x-ms-wvx" since you are using a wvx file here,
but this is not the problem.
I can think of a few things that could cause this strange behavior. The
proper mime types might not be installed on all of the servers you are
using. There could be a security problem. Opera and Mozilla family
might be set not to allow transfer to a url in another domain in some
cases. If you can control the server you are using, my first stop would
be to check mime types and be sure the correct ones for .wmv and .wvx
are set; set them if not. Then I would install the .wmv video that is
on another server on your server. I would put all of the files in the
same directory to make things as simple as possible.
