Haha. Yeah I actually joked with a different client this week on which browsers were to be supported on a new project. I had asked if we needed to support IE6. They said they wanted to do a redirect for IE6 to a page advising the user to upgrade or download FF or Chrome. I then joking suggested we could install this jQuery plugin to crash IE6 http://plugins.jquery.com/project/crash They actually liked that idea.
But seriously, I'm avoiding the mime type issue. I don't want to change this at the server level (not even sure the shared hosting would allow it) because there are other videos they do want to play. I know I can setup some code to add the headers via PHP. But I don't want to get into the code for this part of the project. I think the easiest solution is to just zip the files.
