streaming quicktime file.. more buffer time??...

by techreviewer910 Aug 30, 2006 4:53AM PDT

Hello everyone,
I have a streaming quicktime MP4 video file embedded on a page. Is there ANY way at all to create "more buffer" time in the beginning before it plays automatically??

On some computers, while it plays, it seems to stop and then continue a few seconds later. I want it to play as one continuous smooth movie.

Any ideas???

Thanks
cant wait to hear your ideas.. its appreciated!!

Thanks I see that choice but thats in the quicktime player itself... so that would be a viewer's choice correct? as the mov creator, can I "create" or "compress" the movie so there is a definite delay no matter what the viewer chooses?

thx
