Re: HELP! First big customer and running into problems with small QuickTime progressive downloads

Are you saying that the AUTOPLAY instead simply tells the plug-in to begin playing the video immediately, regardless of how much has been downloaded

I was saying that I wasn't sure, but that the movie was behaving as if it played immediately. What you were saying about the distinction between fast start and autoplay is the key thing, if there is a distinction.

If the two are supposed to be the same thing, then the problem would be something to do with the server delivering in spurts, and fooling fast start into thinking that the file is going to arrive on time.

Hey, I just thought, are the movies VBR at all? That could give a situation where the number of seconds downloaded would lead fast start to believe that the remainder of the time will download soon enough. Of course, this would mean that fast start is a time based decision, and not data size based.
