    How to stream a LARGE video on a webpage.

    As you probably know, youtube doesn't allow one to upload videos over 10 minutes. I have a 14 minute mpg file which is 420 MB. I uploaded this to a server of mine where I host a site.

    I have tried both the quicktime and windows media version of code to embed a player:

    HTML Code:
    <object width="240" height="196" 
      classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" 
      codebase="[URL]http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab[/URL]">
      <param name="src" value="moviefile.mov">
      <param name="controller" value="true">
      <param name="autoplay" value="false">
      <embed src="moviefile.mov" width="240" height="196"  
        autoplay="false" controller="true" 
        pluginspage="[URL]http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/[/URL]">
      </embed>
    </object>

    HTML Code:
    <object width="320" height="290" 
    classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" 
    id="mediaplayer1"><param name="Filename" value="Beethoven1.mpg"><param name="AutoStart" value="True"><param name="ShowControls" value="True"><param name="ShowStatusBar" value="False"><param name="ShowDisplay" value="False"><param name="AutoRewind" value="True"><embed width="320" height="290" src="Beethoven1.mpg"
    filename="Beethoven1.mpg" autostart="True" 
    showcontrols="True" showstatusbar="False" 
    showdisplay="False" autorewind="True"></embed></object>
    Neither one of these work and the page just "freezes" and I have to ctrl-alt-delete to get out.

    How does one stream a file of this size? My understanding is that quicktime is built into browsers.

    Thanks.
