Strange behaviour of video.module 4.6:

In IE the links "play" and "download" work good, but in Firfox the download URL doesn't work properly - it opens the file - does not download it.

What's going on?

Download is only a link to the video file.
If you click it with a plugin enable browser you will play the video.

If you want to download it you can click with your right botton mouse over
the download link and then use save link with name.

Maybe we could send videos as page attachment???
We can discuss this.

Title: Video in IE and Firefox » Video in IE and Firefox - size x and y

Thanks for making it more clear.

I don't know, if it's onlly my problem (settings of the browser..) or it is popular error

But the second thing. When I send the video I have to determine size X and size Y of the video. I don't know, where to find it and it makes my videos ridiculous ;-)

Could it be default size when left empty?

you can get video size doing this:

quicktime:
open the file with quicktime.
movie -> get movie properties -> video track -> format

windows media:
by clicking with your left button on the video file then
summary then advanced.

For developers:
we can make a default size if video x and y are blank.
another solution could be making video x and y required when adding a video.

I think the second is the better one.

I changed CVS to use node/#/download for downloading videos. I had more success with it. If you try CVS, it will work with Drupal 4.6, but it isn't stable - FLV support will probably be changing this week.
