I have this weird problem when downloading video files on my ASP/IIS. My download code seems to be working since i can download every file except for video file ext. particularly mov and mpg. The download dialog prompts with the right file size except that it doesnt recognize the header or content type of the file.
View RepliesI want to ask if there is a way of converting video files like mpeg,avi etc to swf files on server using asp code.
View Replies View RelatedThe help is not very informative here, but it says, that it is possible to
download files, by using the 'a' tag. What I am trying to do, is create a
link, that the user clicks, which will download a file from the server. This
works fine for most files, but for things like TXT and HTM, they open in the
browser window. I want the 'Save As' dialog box to appear, instead.
If I use;
Response.Write "<a href='http://mydomain/myfile.txt'>myfile</a>"
I get the contents of myfile.txt displayed in the browser window. If I use;
Response.Write "<a href='http://mydomain/myfile.mdb'>myfile</a>"
I get the 'save file as' dialog box appear. How do I force the 'save file
as' dialog box to appear for ALL files
I tried using the 'FileSystemObject' and using the 'Copy' method of GetFile.
But this does not allow you to have a 'user defined' path to save the file
(which is pretty obvious, as this is the server side)... Is there another
function that I can use, or is there a property setting of the anchor tag,
that I need to set

I have the following problem:
working on a "downlad-module" within a larger website, i tried several methods for downloading-files to the user.
mabye some basic infos first:
the website runs on win server 2003, using sql server 2000-database; pages are written in classic asp. The idea behind is, that all possible download-files (flyers, brochures, some it-stuff.. means pdf, docs, exe, zip-files.. "standard-mixed-stuff, i would say) are of course stored outside the website-root and are uploaded using a cms.
for each file, the information is stored in a database (not the file itself). beside path and filename, also content-type, descriptiton, user-restrictions etc.
within the page, the user will than receive a list of possible download files.
by clicking on the link, i redirect to a "download.asp"-page, where i just want to start the download by sending the file to the user. so far - so bad :-)
i tried 2 free components (TabsUpload; aspSmartUpload)and also a simple response.BinaryWrite and here´s the problem: everything works fine, as long as i am messing round with other file formats than ZIP (!). I can use the system for downloading pdfs, exe, docs... but when i want to dl a zip-file, the system "hangs up" (only the browser wants to connect endlessly.. its not a crash, because i can stop it by using ESC-key)
one interesting thing:
when i use the the BinaryWrite-method, a file is downloaded - but of course not the zip file - it is a html-page with the wrong content-type ;-) using a text/hex-editor, you can find this error message: Response Buffer Limit Exceeded
possible solution for this would normaly be, to turn Response.Buffer = False
but, for using either binaryWrite or one of the components, Response.Buffer should be set to True, as far as i know...
so anyway, here is the source-code: ...
We have numerous pages that allow users to download textfiles. To invoke the File Download Dialog, we use ASP, FSO and ADODB Stream. It worked fine in SP1. In SP2, however, once downloading is done, the window that opened the File Download Dialog automatically closes. Any idea what's causing this? Where can I find information on SP2 in relation to FSO and ADODB Stream?

I'm about to venture onto a new project of developing an ASP Page that captures images from a streaming web camera, and displays them (refreshs) the image every 15 seconds.
The question I have, is it possible to capture images (every 15 secs- from the webcam on the intranet) and store that snap shot as say a .jpg file in a folder, and then have the ability to continuously add images to this folder, so at a later date you could develop a system that would display photo after photo simultaneously, fast motion of the project in action.
Can someone help me regarding Capturing Image from a Video in ASP. what I have achieved is this, I have run the video using Media Player Active-X Control and have got a button control on which I have initiated a component known as Media Processor, which saves the frame according to current position supplied in a picture format. But the problem is that it doesn't support files greater than 300 MB or so. I want to have a support of upto 2 GB files. Moreover, I have to keep in consideration the performance issues, it shouldn't get my server down. Can someone give me any idea about any component for this job, I have been able to find out only this on different locations. I have got another one that is working well in VB, but there is a problem with using in ASP. I am using Media Player just because of buffering, actually I want is kind of streaming so that the server gets minimum load. How to achieve this?

View Replies View RelatedI need some help with making an asp website that will batch user requests for a particular video file, and then once a few requests are made for a video, play that video to the browsers that requested it (after a certain period of time). Physical path links to the video files are stored on an access database and the videos are loaded to be played from that database. (These files will be located in the IIS web server directory).
An example of this is when a request is made wait till you get 4 more requests and then play the video to the 5 browsers requesting the video, or play the video after for exampele 15 minutes, even if only 1 request is made. This is therefore a near video-on-demand "NVOD" system in asp. The problem is, I don't know where to start, and although I have done a lot of searches on the web I am still not getting anywhere with this.
I need to hide my video streaming source URL such as mms:123.11.123.24 est.wmv . I know how to hide image source using another ASP at the <img src=> tag. But what about streaming Video ? Is there a good way to hide it in ASP code ?
View Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a page that allows user upload video clips to my server.
What do I want from this operation is:
1. User upload a video clip (.mpg) to a folder
2. The path to that folder will be stored in a database
3. Display a screenshot of the video clip on the main page
4. It brings ppl to the video player page after ppl clicked on the screenshot.
So far many ppl have telling me it is doable with PHP, how about with ASP?
is it posable to let a user upload a video/audio file and then i edit
it like you can with pictures? eg. change reselution, put a pre
recorded introduction to it (branding it to a website) or even convert
the file type
i know the intro thing can kind of be done with playlists but i want to
be able to let the users download the files for use on offline machines
plus i want to be able to convert the resilution.
The page below sends archives of video for the component aspSmartUpload. All time that I try to send a video archive wmv appears this error:
Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'
Operation not Allowed
/tvonline/video_enviar.asp, line 30
In line 30 I have this.
objUpload.Upload
I already verified the way of the folder and the permission of the folder for reading and writing and I am all certainty. I do not understand because it is showing this error.
I was wondering if the seasoned pros on the asp and db forums including
(Bob, Ray, Aaron, Curt and others) would mind offering advice on ideal
laptop requrements for web development requirements.
I currently use an IBM Thinkpad G40 with 2.99 Ghz processor Pentium IV and 1
Gig of Ram.
I currently work withing these technologies:
1. Asp 3.0
2. Sql server
3. Dreamweaver MX
4. Flash MX
5. Photoshop 7.0
However, I am increasingly finding that I am being sucked intot he broadband
arena with the release of Studio 8 and increasing calls for video related
promotions.
Would anyone be able to offer their thoughts on which manufacturer, version,
OS, Graphic Card and other system ratios I should aim for.
Addtiionally, have any of you perhaps experimented with these new split
screen montiors designed for what appears createive packages like adobe
premier?
1. "Partition interval time slots". For example take a 30 sec video and create 7 images at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 second intervals and the user from there can play each of those time frames INDIVIDUALLY.
2. Take two or more of these time slots and fuse them together forming one solid playable video. I guess you could do this by simply putting them together in windows media player (playlist) but not physically making one solid file.
I don't know if ASP can do any of these functions. I was given the option to take on a task of converting a ColdFusion application to ASP.

View Replies View RelatedI have a C# Desktop application that collects a set of System.Drawing.Bitmap objects.
Now, i want a ASP page that recieves that set of bmps and displays it as a video stream. Is this even possible? Ive googled but found no reference for this. My C# application continously sends the Bitmap objects, i just need those bitmaps to be redirected to a page that will show those pages.
Update:
A simpler way to look at my problem: I want an ASP application that connects to a server, that server will be sending a bunch of BMP objects, and then display those Bitmap objects as a video stream.
