How to stream avi files? Options

[arubanadjudicator]

I'm using code from and html book that is a couple of years old. When I pull up the site, it plays the audio but not the video. The code is below. Can anyone help me out on this one?

<table border="1" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" width="60%" height="580px" align="left" bgcolor="#000033">
<tr><td>
<center><h3>Welcome to Marley's Page!</h3><br />

<object id="MediaPlayer1"
classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,5,715"
width="300" height="300"
type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="autostart" value="true">
<param name="filename" value="marleyvideo.avi">
<param name="showcontrols" value="true">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="true">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="marleyvideo.avi"
width="300" height="300" autostart="1"
showcontrols="1" showstatusbar="1"></embed>
</object>

Hmm could be a codec problem, not really sure how to solve it though, sorry.

Any reason the file needs to be streamed? You can't offer the .avi as a plain link?
