.flv videos load slow. Can it be sped up?

I have four videos on a page that two of them load
imediately. The other two take about five minutes to load. Is there
a way to make them all load at the same time?
By the way. The videos all load faster in FireFox. The videos
load slow IE, which I think is what most people tend to use.

Also, if anyone can tell me how enable a full screen button.
Thanks in advance.

there is no way to control the 'speed' of the DL - however
you may be able to 'stream' the video - in this way it will only
pause until properly buffered and then begin playback.

Videos load slower than in the past

Since upgrading to Firefox/3.6.13, videos load much slower. I have run speed test on system and that is not the problem. I have DSL. The later in the day, the slower the down load.

Hello Paul,
Least likely is Malware.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive in Disk Utilty by highlighting the Drive & looking at the bottom of the window.
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

How to create "transition" while FLV Videos load before and during "chaining" or "looping"

The Status:
OK, I now have Action Script 3 that will work for chaining FLV videos... or Looping an FLV video.
But when one video ends there is a short pause before the next one loads and starts... the progress bar for the Flash Player displays diagional green lines... and it is simply not a smooth transistion.
This happens when chaining or when looping.
And, even though I'm doing a progressive download... where the video starts very quickly... and plays while it downloads... there is a short delay at the start. That is not as noticable as the break between videos or when looping back to replay the same video.
The Question:
Is there a way to create a visual transistion... say a rotating object... or something to keep the motion/action going during that short interval?
I've seen something like this before... like two (broken line) circles rotating in opposit directions... or something.
It show the "busy" status or whatever I guess.
Thanks for any help.

That depends on how you're loading your videos. Assuming you're using a loader object, you would add/show and remove/hide this
animation while you're waiting for the load of the video to complete. If you're loading the file(s) directly into a FLVPlayback object then you'll want to do this:
import lash.events.VideoEvent;
FLVPlaybackObject.addEventListener(VideoEvent.bufferingStateEntered, showBufferState);
FLVPlaybackObject.addEventListener(VideoEvent.playingStateEntered, clearBufferAnimation);
function showBufferState(e:VideoEvent):void
//Do your busy animation here
function clearBufferAnimation(e:VideoEvent):void
//Hide/stop your busy animation here
However, I may be all wrong about your methods. Let me know if this works or if you need anymore help. Thanks,
-Jesse

Youtube videos load slow in FF & Chrome, but fine in IE.

So my problem is that Youtube videos load in a very choppy way in Firefox and Chrome, first 15 seconds load, then there's a long pause, before next 15 or so seconds are loaded. However, they load smoothly on Internet Explorer. I've reinstalled browsers and Flash, tried disabling HW acceleration, all to no avail.

It seems to me that you should not need padding if the bottom image is 'pasted' to the bottom of the menu. If the bottom div is the same size as the image, you also don't need to say "background-position: bottom;" You know that it is the 'bottom' of the menu visually. The div doesn't care where it is...it's probable that the padding is pushing the image right out of the picture (so to speak).
I don't see the bottom padding on the markup, anyway. Are the image you are presenting corresponding to the code you pasted in? By the way, seeing code pasted in is not as good as seeing the page and code in situ...by getting a link for it.

Flash video loads slow.

The video at the top loads way slower than the two at the
bottom.
Can anyone tell me why? Do I need to post this in the Flash
Support forums?

YouTube slow video loading

on wifi video loads slow why is this? So I stop the video and move the slide left and right and it loads faster don't make sense

Even on WiFi, EDGE, or 3G streaming video or pre-recorded video has to buffer first.
If for some reason enough buffering has not been done it will be slow and or buffer between video playback.
But if the buffering is not the issue and it's more of the video being in like a slow motion try the following.
1. Reboot iPhone
2. Toggle WiFi on/off then back on and try Youtube again
3. Toggle Airplane mode ON for 1 min then OFF and then try Youtube again
4. If needed go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings - Confirm - allow iPhone to reboot. Then reconnect to your WiFi and try Youtube again.
If you find this continues test Youtube on other WiFi connections to see if the same slowness occurs.

Please help me load an .flv video that has been embeded onto a web page

Hello there,
I was hoping someone on this forum could please help me with one specific problem that I am having. I would like to embed the a flash player into an html page, and load the video from a service that has the streaming video provided.
This is the context of the situation...
We have created a site that was to be used on a showroom floor (no internet connection) and loaded the .flv videos at the local root level for the site.
Now however, we would like it to be an online site. I have been able to use the flash "jw player"to load videos to play using the shadowbox javascript, but when I try to embed it onto a page and have it play, it isn't working and I am not sure why.
Below is the code that is currently working to load the videos on the local root level.
Might someone have any ideas on what I need to replace to have it load the videos from the streaming service?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance that could be provided. I can also provide a URL if it would help.
I would GREATLY appreciate any assistance provided.

</object>
</object>

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the reply. However, I am pretty confident that the jw player supports the streaming video option, but as I mentioned that I was able to use it as a popup using the shadowbox javascript before. After doing a bit of investigating on how the videos are hosted, I am using "progressive download" method for these videos.
I think the problem is that the player.swf is hosted on my website server - and the videos are then hosted on the media hosting service. I think that the player needs to be located on the media hosting service, and then embedded onto the page along with where to point to the .flv video. Does that sound right?
If so, the paramater I am using to embed the player as I mentioned in my original post is simply:
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
does the "value" then have to change to the http:// address for the video player.swf that would then be hosted on my video hosting service?
Little help?
Please let me know if there is anything I can provide to clarify the issue.
Thanks

All videos load extremely slow

I have the Break app and the YouTube app and all videos load extremely slow on my ipod touch 5g. It makes it not worth trying to load any videos. I'm currently at work and the wireless here is limited to 1mb. But I have my ipod touch 3g sitting right next to me and it loads at the expected speed (based on the bandwidth cap here). Is the video quality increased automatically, sucking more bandwidth? I can't find any settings to change the quality though. This makes viewing videos not even worth trying.
I'm going to do some tests tonight when I get home which has a 8mbps average download for wired so my wireless won't be limited at all.
Anyone else experiencing any slowness isssues with videos?

Internet videos are becoming more bloated all the time.
Many things can affect it though.

Videos are SLOW to load

I just downloaded the most recent version of safari (beta 3) and videos posted on websites are still EXTREMELY slow to load. Are there any updates that would help make the videos load quicker or is it caused by limited space on the hard drive? Any comments/answers would be helpful. Thanks!

Were you able to confirm any suspicions the browser could be at fault
(or not) by trying to download the same video content through a different
browser with current proper plugins, and etc?
The speed of the internet connection is among prime things to confirm
and consider when awaiting slow internet content downloads. Also, all
system performance can be affected by insufficient hard drive freespace
or flex-space for the applications and for use as virtual memory.
The actual download speed of a file may vary through a combination of
several influences or conditions within and from without the computer.

Youtube app loads videos very slow On my ipad mini . I can let it buffer for 10 seconds, it plays and then stops because it has to buffer again and convert the video in very poor quality. i have 20mb internet connection. my sofware version is iOS 6.1.3

Check your internet upload speed. You probably have a very slow speed.

Slow internet video loading

Hi everyone,
Ever since I purchased my Macbook Pro over 3 months ago, watching videos has been very slow. It doesn't freeze, it just takes a really long time to load any video from youtube or any other website.
My internet speed is fine as I have another laptop (Toshiba running on windows vista) and video loading is really quick and don't have to wait for a video to completely load as it is already fast.
So is the problem the Macbook or internet connection?
My Toshiba laptop is wirelessly connected to the internet though (Connected using ethernet cable).
However, the macbook is wirelessly connected.
Any suggestions? It could be that the wireless isn't really good but that doesn't explain why it is fast and smooth on my Toshiba.
Thanks!

Hi ..
just takes a really long time to load any video from youtube or any other website.
YouTube requires the Flash plugin so try troubleshooting ...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Relaunch Safari. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

How can I loop an *.flv video file in DWC5.5?

Can you point me in the right direction?   I'm new to Dreamweaver and website designing, so please be gentle.    Thanking you in advance.

A couple things...
Generally speaking an "autoplay" video will cost you visitors, especially one that takes a long time to load then just "kicks in".
Flash video is definitely not the best route online since iPads, iPhones, Android and others are not capable of running flash of any variety.
I stopped using Flash a while back in favor of HTML5 video, but IIRC, to loop a flash file you can add a loop parameter like...
<param name="loop" value="true">
