You failed to mention what the problem was.

We probably have a solution. We'll let you know what it is once you let us know what the problem is.

Oh what the hell, I'll just take a shot in the dark, right click and choose Save As instead of left clicking and having media player load up.

That will just download a nifty .php file which is worthless to him. If the video is attempting to open instead of save, you need to reconfigure in your browser what it should do with that file type. I have no idea how to configure this in Internet Explorer.

Good point, I had forgotten about that. I notice that he hasn't replied with his problem, I wonder if he's staring at a PHP file wondering 'What next?' as we speak?

Maybe he'll try to import it into vdub and export as avi.
