I have a bunch of mp4 video clips that I am uploading to a server from a mac using fetch. Once loaded, they are displaying as text when viewing in browser. Any help as to what I am doin wrong would be appreciated
thanks

check your upload settings, could be an ascii of binary problem

could also be the mime type settings of either the server or the browser. latter one could be the reason. if so then basically your browser doesn't know what to do with it and just displays it as text. check you helper apps mime whatever settings, check what it does with files with a .mp4 extension. if you're on a mac you should use the quicktime plugin.

Thanks for the response. The files play fine on my browser from the HD. Tested on 2 PCs via web and same text problem. Have tried uploading using raw data, binary, automatic settings.

do they have the correct extension (.mp4)?

Yes the extension is mp4. I have also uploaded to 3 different servers - same problem.

Try uploading a .htaccess file to your the root directory of your server with the line:
AddType video/quicktime .mp4
