Hi

My problem is as follows;
I have a set of .mov files withj mpeg-4 video content, as well as a set of .avi files also with mpeg-4 content.
Without FOBS none of these would load in JMStudio, and I had to convert them to divx clips and use IBM's mpeg-4 plug-in to make JMStudio open them successfully.

The files now load fine in JMStudio if I load them from the local disk using the "open file" option.
If I try loading them with "open URL" and "http://server:8080/video/test.mov" I am left with the pink screen. The old, divx converted clips load fine with "open URL", from the same server.

Similarly, trying to open the files on the webserver in my own application fails with messages ranging from "Error in parsing VOL information: No '1' bit while looking for next start code" on the .avi's, and

Setting size - 720x400
Encoding: mp4v
Codec Found: 12
Codec opened...W=720 H=400
Marker bit missing before vop_coded
[mpeg4 @ 6B30B320]header damaged
Marker bit missing before vop_coded
[mpeg4 @ 6B30B320]header damaged
Marker bit missing before vop_coded
[mpeg4 @ 6B30B320]header damaged
Marker bit missing before vop_coded

from the .mov files. These last few lines go on for quite some time.

If I attempt to create a MediaLocator and then a processor or player from an .avi or .mov file in my application, this works but takes considerable time. (25-30 seconds)

The divx files still load and run fine, both over http and file.

To sum it up:
DIVX http = yes
DIVX file = yes
AVI(mpeg-4) http = no
AVI(mpeg-4) file = yes
MOV(mpeg-4) http = no
MOV(mpeg-4) file = yes

Why am I not able to read these files over http, and is there a possible workaround?
