[Ffmpeg-devel] .mpg files won't play in mac/win with simple click from browser

[Marco Scoffier]

Originally posted this to ffmpeg.user but have had no response so I am
trying here.  As per http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/compat.php I created
several different formats of movies for download from my website.

 --msmpeg4v2/avi for winXp
 --mpeg4/mov for new quicktime and 
 --mpeg1/mpg for everyone else.

Weird thing is that on older Macs OS9 and all windows the .mpgs I have
created only play the first second or so.  The file seems to download, but
then only plays the first few images, or first image.  Files available
here:

If I download the file, on windows or mac, then play it from disk, the
whole file plays. Is this an ffmpeg issue ? or some misconfiguration of my
webserver ? The files play fine with mplayer on linux of course...

Thanks,

output of ffmpeg -i (I can send the command line used to create the mpgs
if needed.)
