What can cause movies to play some times and not play at other times?

I think Cleo has found the problem. These are mpeg-ps, that's why they download, but stream irregularly.

I'll need to get new clips, or maybe find something to convert them.

I tested mpegs on the gay fetish FHGs from that sponsor, they also fucked up, I'll have to tell them.

The mpeg-ps theory explains every effect we've seen - playing some times but not others, playing differently in different players.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_stream

"Program stream (PS or MPEG-PS) is ... a container format designed for reasonably reliable media such as disks, in contrast to transport stream which is for data transmission in which loss of data is likely."

I had actually tested that theory a number of times before, BV - because it did seem like there was something about the way the server was delivering the files that was causing the trouble.

I uploaded that .wmv, there's a text link to it, it streamed just fine for me.
