Streaming MP4
I am learning how to put streaming MP4 video on my website using OpenVideoPlayer. However, the MP4 files I create will not play until they are completely loaded in the client’s browser, while the MP4 that OVP uses in their example streams “progressively” (plays/loads simultaneously like Youtube).
mine: 69MB, 4:00, takes almost 2 minutes to load

So how do I encode an MP4 file for streaming applications? Is this even the right place to ask? Currently I’m just using the Vegas AVC render option, 2Mbps. Don’t see anything in there about streaming options.
Thanks!

They both started playing shortly after streaming, so I don’t see the problem.

Yeh, I’ve since re-encoded the MP4 using MP4Box so that it now loads progressively.

Hey – even though both of these work when the link is clicked directly – they are different file types. The reason I say this is because I dl’d the files. Then put them on my network hard drive. I then logged in remotely to my network hard drive through Firefox and only one of them played. Elephant’s dream worked and the Z-flock did not.
Something to consider.
