While it doesn't cover .mpeg files, I'm sure that if you experiment around with it a bit (using the proper classid and MIME type) you should be able to get it to work.
I think I actually HAVE a .mpeg file or two on my hard drive. Let me see what I can cook up for your particular situation, ok?
Edit. Turns out Quicktime CAN play .mpeg movies... I'll still work up a solution for you though... once my dialup connection downloads the Quicktime player so I can check this out for myself.
@AlbatrossAug 21.2006 — #Ok, I'm still waiting for Quicktime to download, but in the meantime, I was able to get it to work in Internet Explorer (I used a Family Guy movie clip). [code=html] <object type="video/mpeg" data="familyguy.mpeg" width="640" height="480"> <param name="src" value="familyguy.mpeg" /> <param name="autostart" value="true" /> <param name="controller" value="true" /> </object> [/code]
For standard HTML (the above was in an XHTML document), use this instead (note that all I did was remove the forward slash and the space in the param tags) [code=html] <object type="video/mpeg" data="familyguy.mpeg" width="640" height="480"> <param name="src" value="familyguy.mpeg"> <param name="autostart" value="true"> <param name="controller" value="true"> </object> [/code]
@AlbatrossAug 21.2006 — #Ok, it's downloaded and installed. Just confirmed it works in Internet Explorer, Gecko (Mozilla based browsers), and Opera. Don't know about Safari since I don't have a Mac, but I'll go ahead and presume it does until I get a Mac user to confirm it.
