timecode display

[Jeremy Falcon]

I'm working on a web page that shows high and low bandwidth versions of two
video clips. I used the Windows Media Encoder 7.1 to make four WMV files
because the web server for the page is running on Unix. Naturally, I played
the files in Windows Media Player (6.4) to ensure all was well, but when I
uploaded the files and embedded them into a web page, three of the four
clips continue to display a timecode throughout the entire video. Only one
of the videos displays it for a couple of seconds and then it disappears.

So, I check the web page out on two other computers at work and none of them
display the timecodes at all. But, these computers were running WMP 7.0.
So, I upgraded to 7.1 on my computer but it still shows the timecodes on
three of the videos. I'm assuming it can't be a setting in the video
because it only shows them on my computer AFAIK. Is there a setting in WMP
that I have flagged to show timecodes? Or maybe an extra attribute in the
embed and object tags I can use to get rid of them? If I go to news.com and
watch a video clip there in Windows Media I don't see any on those videos,
so I have to wonder.

Does anyone out there have an idea as to why in the world this is happening?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

What I hear is that this is happening on some machines and not others, is that correct? If so, those
machines should not be displaying the time code, and there's no setting in WMP7 to flip this on or off.
What may be happening is that you have a debug version of DirectShow installed on those machines
which is causing this. Try upgrading to the newest DirectX version available for those platforms and
let us know if that doesn't help.

I upgraded to DX 8.1 and it worked. I do have my dev tools installed at
work, but I never installed the DX SDK much less the debug version. I'm
guess maybe one of the DDKs or whatever put 'em on. Who knows.

Thanks,
