Michel, Paul, you might want to take a look at this one:

I suspect there is something about the Windows 7 CoApp that makes it fail in this case
when the Windows for modern releases CoApp works fine. I suspect. I'm guessing. But
there is some kind of issue there you might want to look into.

What are the 2 bit rates in the attached image? I suspect the second one is meant to be
an indication of the download speed, but when I compared it to what I was seeing in the
Windows Resource Monitor, they didn't match. The Resource Monitor showed the speed
fluctuating while the VDH display never changed. Maybe the first one is an internal
attribute of the variant, like what we get in the Windows File Properties dialog. Yes?
No?

Also, I think you may have your units swapped. The first one should be Mbps & the second
on MB/s. I think. Unless I've interpreted the numbers wrong. Do enlighten me.

The first one is the download speed, the second one is the video bitrate.
You are saying the displayed download speed doesn't match the actual download speed?

Ah. My assumptions were wrong. I had the ideas flipped. No, everything is fine. For
some reason, I thought the second one would be the download speed. Maybe it just seemed
logical to me that the download speed would be in with the percent complete & time
remaining. Maybe I'm suggesting that's how it should be. But it would be a cosmetic
thing. No big deal. As long as I know what the numbers mean, it's fine. The download
speed, now that I know which one it is, does look like it matches what Resource Monitor
is reporting.
