Are all of the proper codecs installed?
If not then sometimes you'll get video and no audio or audio and no video.

If they weren't, it wouldn't play on or off the web ... would it? This video plays fine on my computer ... but when placed on a webpage it's audio only

It's been a few years since I've done HTML but shouldn't the src have the path to the file?

Not completely true.
I had the same exact thing happen on my home system when trying to watch videos at this url.
http://adam.fulara.com/e.php?g=music
I got no video but I had the audio going fine. After installing the codecs that were mentioned on that page, it all worked fine.
I see what you mean though. If it plays locally on your system, it should play ok on the same system from the web page.
I don't see that the src line in your HTML would be causing it. It seems to have found the file just fine and is just having a problem with the video.
I'll ask around here with some guys who know a little more than me about it.

Not as long as the file is in the same directory as the page and like Pat said, It's finding the file, just not playing the video.

The "src=" does have the path to the file. It is the filename itself. It is all in the same directory. It finds the audio but not the video ????

Maybe actually seeing the page might help. What's the url?

you have designated for the video? It may be too big or too small. I don't remember the tag but what about setting it to "auto size" ?

Why are you embedding? Usually sites embed to try to force you to stream the video instead of downloading it. Sometime Mplayer messes up on me and I have to look at the source code to find the URL of the video to download it with Wget to actually see it. So I hope you provide a link too.
By the way how did you get permission to put the movie on your site? I didn't get an answer and OUCH got a cold rejection.
