Hi,

I've got a web page with an MPEG-4 movie embedded in it - but it seems that the whole movie must be loaded before it will display at all - is this normal?

We've got a streaming MP4 on our site:

We've also got members who can help you with your video encoding. You should join and show your movie at iMovieFest.com

Payce.

Ah - OK, I worked out what the problem was - QuickTime .movs can be streamed over http - MP4 files cannot.

I had to re-export as a QT movie (encoded with MPEG-4).

Repeat after me: Fast start, not streaming.
