My wife and I recently visited Australia and while there of course took
some video film. Our son out there transferred it onto CD for us via his
PC and we brought the CD home.
The damned thing (pardon my language!) won't play on anything I have - but
another son in London has been able to
Hey Peter -
Sounds like your son one-upped you! ;) If you can find out what he used
when he encoded the video (such as DivX) that would help. Sounds like you
might be missing a codec or something...

Hey gang -
I have had the good old robots.txt file coming up in the log lately and
not having either a robots.txt file or meta information, I figured I
better do something.
I talked with my friend, Mr. Google, and he told me how to create the .txt
file and what meta info to insert, but is
Probably missing a codec (big surprise with that error message) Might try
the Nvidia DVD Decoder http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html
Could also be that it was encoded for the wrong type of player. I'm not sure
what they use in Australia but there maybe the issue of PAL and NTSC format.
Do you want to be in Google?

Hi Peter
This is sounding like a codec problem i.e. you don't have the codec used to
encode the video so you can't play it. Problem is though Microsoft (from
what you've said it sounds like you're trying to play through Windows Media
Player) don't have a lot of the commonly used video codecs
Well, if it were that easy then of course I would do it. However, I know
that with some good comes bad, and I'm curious about the bad. I thought I
recalled discussion some time ago being all anti-robot.
Also, since you can create a robots.txt file and specify settings for
specific crawlers then
IMHO, there is no harm in having a robot file. It's just a guide for the
robots to follow. Spiders don't need to follow it, but the main 'bots do. I
see it as more of a you don't need to spider this directory file. At the
very least, you can add a blank file to your root to allow all it won't
Hi Ann -
Thanks for the information and suggestion. I did put a blank file on the
server for now. I checked out the link earlier but will look it over again!

Hmm, OK. Wondered about that. I've got VS.NET 2003, but due to exigencies of
current projects, etc. haven't explored it. So, basically, it's analogous to
embedded javascript versus linked javascript, except that the external
reference is made inline instead of in the head?
Cheers,
