It works beautifully when the .avi is a local file, but not when it is loaded over the net. I checked this in QT Player (entering the URL) and directly in Safari, and it also completely fails to play, even after having buffered it. No Audio, jerky video. I also tried saving the SMIL as a Composite, fast-start .mov (with external references), but still no go ....
crap, can you post the above (and the images) somewhere on the net so that I can see it?

Keep in mind ... this is a very rough demo :)
ie. I did not have Steven's slides, so I blew up snapshots from the video itself.
I made the slide region so much bigger than the movie region so you can actually read the text on the dense ones ....
So maybe the DivX codec is not so good after all :)
divx is the most crossplatform/free codec, that's why I choose it, nothing about technical excellence in the choice. It had to be "good enough".
I'm not surprised if it doesn't work well with more interactive usage.... have you tried with real player?
Not yet ....
OK, so I could re-process the video so it would maybe work, but the whole idea was to re-use the existing files in different containers.
yep.
See what milage you get ..... I have hard-coded one of the UK Mirrors as the source of the movie .... if we can get this to work, we need a way of sending you off to your local mirror.
