It looks like you are trying to use a flash player to view a jpg file.

Try a different player. Is this in an ASP page?

I believe Silverlight is the player for use with Razor.

try this link

MIME Types

When a browser downloads a file, the browser makes sure that the file type matches the MIME type that's specified for the document that's being rendered. The MIME type is the content type or media type of a file. The Video helper uses the following MIME types:

• application/x-shockwave-flash
• application/x-mplayer2
• application/x-silverlight-2
