I'm having a virtual directory that holds videos of format MP4. My problem is that i'm not able to access some of the "mp4" file via http. But i can browse and play the file through the shared folder not via http. I added the MIME extension for MP4 also. Please find the event log as below

Log

Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 7.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e023cf, faulting module MSVCR80.dll, version 8.0.50727.4016, time stamp 0x49cc5361, exception code 0xc000000d, fault offset 0x00004e12, process id 0x2edc, application start time 0x01cb598243012abd.

Also in fiddler i'm getting the log as ReadResponse() failed: The server did not return a response for this request.

Try adding mime type in this way. I have done this and didn't get any error.

File name extension : .mp4
MIME Type : audio/mpeg

I know this is old but I happened accross this while trying to solve a simular bug

Using IIS7 to be able to download the files I had to add the .mp4 video/mpeg MIME Type to the Server..

This allowed the download of the File, but upon playing it would always fail. I noticed that if you "save as" it would change the Filename to a .mpeg file which the player didn't reconise as the filetype when trying to play..

To solve I changed the MIME to .mp4 video/mp4

and it seems to work now (not sure if this breaks anything but it worked in a local intranet for me)
