mp4 created in Vegas 8.0c won’t play on web
I created two mp4’s using Vegas MainConcept. They play fine on the computer. They play fine when testing the web page in Dreamweaver 8. But, when I try to view them live on the web with ANY browser, all that pops up looks like programming text. If I right click the link, and try to “save target” it wants to call the mp4 file a html extension.

Hi Charlie,
I read your post over on Sony’s forum as well. I would contact your server host and make sure that mp4 files are recognized on your server. I had an issue in the past where my files, once uploaded, could not be read and showed up as code. Once I put in a request with my host to add the extension, all was well.

That doesn’t make sense – files is files. The server shouldn’t be doing anything with them except *serving* them when requested.

I read the same on a Google search, hard to believe, but your right. Thanks.

It may not make sense, but this is something that people do to protect their servers and their clients’ information that is stored on them. The file is still there and can be ftp’ed but cannot always be used how it is intended to be used. I used to not be able to link veg files on my server but after submitting a request asking for it and explaining what the .veg was, they approved it and now I no longer have to zip it to provide direct links.
Again, it may not make sense, but so is life.
