But 747_test.mov works properly in all browsers. If you're going to
check this you have to test one of the files that doesn't work:

As you can see, the file extension says it's an mpeg (which it is), but
the content-type header says it's an mp4. So any browser that believes
the content-type header will try to play it as an mp4 and barf. (This
explains why it works when you download it first, because then the
information from the content-type header is lost and the (correct) file
extension is used instead.)

I downloaded the pousos.wmv and it ran well. The others either didn't
download or were broken.
As a by the by the pilot earned his money with landing in those
conditions
