Nope, "fail", sorry :-P

Why using <embed> instead <video>? For instance:

<video src="TVideos/DSCF0142.AVI" width="320" height="260" controls autoplay loop></video>

According to the current html5 working draft, embed only allows a few set
of specific attributes, in addition to the usuals:

Maybe the file is very big. How about the file size?

I'd do more testing, for example, use <video> tag, load a differnt file
container other than AVI (e.g., .mpeg, .ogv...) and also run the tests
with different browsers.

Dear Teacher -

The video tag is poorly supported. I tried just what you suggested and it does not work. :-(

I have found out that Iceweasel is using the VLC plugin. I cannot seem to find a way to force Iceweasel to use VLC. My last resort would be to use a system call from PHP to run VLC from the command line. Any ideas? :'(

Ethan
