I've done a test with mpeg here, just using the same system with DirectMedia xtra. The 10 second mpeg was interrupted several times on the first day, and has since been running for 7 days.
Does it have to be interrupted every usage in order to fail?

In our case it would be relatively simple to convert to Quicktime, which we have avoided because of previous memory leak problems.
How about installing QT6 on the PCs and playing the MPEGs through the QT plugin that ships with Director, rather than converting?
Also, I believe DirectMedia has been replaced more or less officially by MPEGAdvance, for what it's worth, to support the newer MS OSen.
Finally, next time go Mac for the kiosk installs. Much more stable and no QT playback problems.
