Net Stream with mp4 files

[brunog65094755]

Hello, I have two questions. I'm using Net Stream to play some videos on my Flash Game. These videos will be located on a local folder in the same path as the main .exe file (the projector). All files are .mp4 (h.264 / converted with JW Player), is this the best extension or does Flash 'works better' with another video extension? In my computer, works perfectly, but I'm concerned about other computers, I heard about Flash prefers to play .flv files, but I'm not sure...

The second question is: Whoever will play my game, needs to install mp4 codecs to see these videos or Net Stream is independent and can play the video without codecs?

Another question I have. The files are .mp4 but I'd love to rename the files to another extension, for example: "video.mp4" to "video.ext" just to avoid the players opening the folder to notice the video files there, I want the players seeing the videos only inside the game, to avoid "spoilers".

I tried this here and the videos run on my computer with a complete different extension, my concern is just if the video will run on other machines...
