[thelist] streaming media file size question

[Johnson, Christopher (MTO)]

Long time no post.  I have a question which hopefully should be easy to 
answer.  A customer has uploaded a 75MB Real Player presentation video 
to her site on an Apache/Red Hat shared server with no streaming media 
software, just linked like normal.  The file plays for some people, but 
rebuffers every 3 seconds for other people.  I can't find a common 
thread re: operating system, connection speed, Real Player version, etc.

This is probably not a solution to the above problem, but I would actually
look at combinations of criteria. In addition, I would look at the
connection speed, server load, and bandwidth at the server end and not at
the clients machine.

Also, can you use Flash for full-motion video?  (for a shorter clip, 
obviously)

Actually, Flash can handle video for even longer clips as it supports full
streaming for video. However, to fully take advantage of video in Flash you
will need to have Flash MX 2004 (probably the Pro edition).
