Hi !

I have flash player on my website and it can play mp4 files. But the problem is it have to load all the file and then it start to play. With FLV files it start in 2-3 secods to play the video. Anybody can help me what i have to do for to start also fast the mp4 videos ?

Thanks

MP4 files can only be played on Apple's media player. There may be many reasons for slow MP4 files:

1. Version of Quicktime
If you have an old or outdated version of Quicktime, your videos may play poorly.

2. Graphics Card Drivers
Outdated graphics card drivers can cause a whole host of video-related problems, including poor MP4 playback.

3. Memory/CPU Consumption
video file needs a lot of processing power to work. You need high Memory/CPU resources to get better results.

Hi there, to easily solve this problem, your best bet would be to find a free or purchase a script that does server side FLV encoding, both Windows and Linux distros have their own scripts. If you choose not to use your server to encode the files, you may choose to find a program that is either payware or freeware, and do the encoding on your PC or Mac.

Incorrect, you don't know what you're talking about.

mp4 using h.264 can be played back by flash player > v9 update 3

The reason playback waits until full load is likely because the moov atom isn't positioned at the start, use qtindexswapper or similar to sort this on the file.

You give the right answer. I search around and i find about this. So now i change the position at the start and the video begin on the first seconds of buffering !
