Thanks for the helpful info. Yeah I know about the large binary files.
The video files I'm saving are only 800kb in size (12 secs worth). I'm
actually writing this as a windows application. It's more a case of proof of
concept but that info for the web is priceless - again thanks because
writing a version from the web is my next step.
I started saving images and made my own add rotator. I wondered if a
short video file could also be saved in the database as well. It can but
when the windows app retrieves the file and writes it to the filesystem
(something I know I don't want to do with the web version - again thanks for
that info), the file will not play programmatically or manually. I can play
the original file just fine though. So what happens when the wmf,asf or mov
file is written to the disk?
I don't know what code you're using. I guess you're sure the database
column is Binary Safe, so I'm not sure what the problem could be.
But if you store the data in DB, then write it back out as a file
stream and it's broken, perhaps that *is* the issue ?
Is it getting 'escaped' on the way in to the DB and stripping
zero-bytes and ASCII ' and # character codes ?
