Want to stream flash video

Anyone out there with flash video experience? How can I set up my flash videos to stream through the embedded video player?

I've tried both JW and Wimpy video players on my site. The sample videos play instantly but my videos don't play until completely downloaded. With a big video it makes it look like the player doesn't work because the wait is so long.

On youtube and other sites even long videos start playing instantly.

I guess streaming is what I'm after. How do I get it?

    Hi David,

    Since you have given the free ones a try you may want to check out our player. We just released version 2.1 and it allows you to perfectly control the buffer time and I provide some encoding and bit rate optimization training so that you can publish videos that play almost "instantly."

    I say almost because I usually recommend buffer times between 3 and 5 seconds... however I have been experimenting with 1 second buffer times lately which has provided me great results in my target market.

    You can check out the transparent player your self at Transparent Video Player - Transparent Flash Video Player - Alpha Channel Video Player

    My philosophy is to either seek out or develop the best tool for the job and since the others lacked in areas that I wanted more power I teamed up with a great partner to develop it.

    The keys that you need to make your video play instantly is:

    1. Auto play
    2. Buffer time control
    3. Knowledge of video bit rates and how to encode to get lower bit rates while retaining quality.
