stream a mpeg clip 1

[rewdee]

I want to play a clip from a hyperlink. However, when I write something like:

<a href=&quot;/video/Quest2.mpg&quot;><img src=&quot;images/Quest2.jpg&quot;></a>

IIS is downloading the whole file (which can take several minutes as it is 10 megs and then plays.

I would like

http://cbc.ca/clips/ram-lo/coach031227.ram

where the video buffers and then plays. Anybody know how this is done?

dunno, but I would just download it and then place it on ther server but the link should be to the exact page that plays the clip. I think for pages that require the user to click on play cannot be used.

Rewdee,

If yo uwant to stream, you have to use a format for streaming.

Real Video (RAM)
Windows ASF
Quicktime Streaming Video (qtm/qtx)
And your server must support streaming video (streaming server) for either or all formats.

MPEG is not a stream format.

Check iwht your ISP for what types of streaming video you can host.
