Playback download VERY slow

I am not an HTML guru and new to Captivate. I created demos
using Captivate 2. I exported them as SWF files for inclusion into
a web site. The problem is that when website visitors click to see
the demo, it takes a while for the download to complete and the
demo to start.
I have other swf files, bigger, that seem to download and
start much faster. I am not sure why the Captivate demo swf files
take so long to download and start. I am concerned that the delay
will get in the way of people seeing the demos, and that they will
leave before seeing them.
My demo files are ususally less than 5 minutes long and are
approx. 4.8 Mb, almost no animation, just audio, screen captures,
slides, some mouse movements, and some highlights. Nothing that
seems too unusual from my perspective.
Does anyone have any ideas? What can I do to make the
download start right away?
P.

P. A few ways, off the top of my head:
You can remove all preloaders
You can deselect "508 Compliance" and "Publish Adobe Connect
metadata
. . . . if not needed. These are located in Project >
Preferences > Preferences
You can place an embedded text-only slide at the beginning
You can remove "transitions" from slides and objects in the
movie
You can "select" ALL slides and change the image quality to
"standard" *
. . . . . * By default, most slide backgrounds are set to
"High", and this
. . . . . greatly increases file size of the image
(background).
Any or all of these are likely to decrease filesize and/or
speed up play of the movie. And there are reasons why each, in
turn, might not be a good idea, depending on the circumstances of a
specific use. Still . . .

  • Record playback is very slow between Flash Media Server and Flash

    hi all
    I have done server side recording successfully with red5 flash media server and can see
    that the flv record is being created properly.
    Then if I try to playback the record like
    NetStream.play("record.flv"), I see that stream playing is very very
    slow, for both of audio and video.
    And then if I try to playback the recorded file via using the
    filesystem path of it, everthing seems fine.
    Problem occurs when I try to sucscribe and play the stream of the record.
    PS : There is no problem with playing the published stream
    (NetStream.play("streamName"))
    Does anyone have an idea about this issue?
    If you need any additional information, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    In a nutshell flowplayer delivers the video through your web
    browser. It does this via http protocol (port 80) and progressive
    download on any web server
    Progressive download finds the video on the server and plays
    it back through the player as it is being downloaded. 2 important
    things to take from this are 1, the video is being downloaded to
    the clients hard drive, at the end of the playback they will have a
    copy of your video that they can do whatever they like to and
    repost it somewhere else. 2, It plays back as it downloads, meaning
    if I'm viewing a 10 minute video from your site and want to skip
    ahead to the middle or end I have to wait for the whole video to
    download before viewing those segments. Your web host by the way
    will love you for progressive download because it will appear as
    though your transfer rate has gone through the roof. Once the
    request for the video is made there is no turning back, the client
    gets the whole thing whether they watch it or not.
    Flash media server uses the rtmp protocol. This protocol is
    an open socket protocol through port 1935. This is a two way street
    essentially. When the user views a video using FMS they basically
    get only enough of the video to keep the connection open and
    satisfy the required buffer to assure clean playback. The bytes of
    info that carry the video only go to the users memory, not the hard
    drive. This allows the user to jump back and forth around in the
    movie without having to wait for the whole thing to download.
    Hope that helps.

  • ITunes App Store Australia download very slow

    contact apple support to see what is going on -- there have been complaints about Icloud servers and mail - so hazarding a guess that they have a problem somewhere between you and them.  Weather (storms) can cause an internet connection to be slow - or have to be rerouted in the system causing a traffic jam somewhere along the line.    Generally - in the US I check the national weather service map and if there are storms in certain areas I give it up for the day as its just not going to connect.

  • Audio CDs Downloading Very Slow - Any Advice?

    Any advice on how to increase the speed when downloading tunes from audio cds?  I am experienceing very slow burn time, and the songs tend to skip when i aply the audio cd through iTunes.   I have a Dell pc with windows 7.  Not certain which version of iTunes I am using, but it is a newer version.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

    Hi
    For the files and folders that do not have to be changed in the portal, you can define read-only access. These can then be stored in the local browser cache. You make this setting in the Details dialog box. Choose Settings → Properties. On the System tab page, activate the Write-Protected property.
    This setting means that the content can no longer be updated using the CM user interface, however, you can still update properties. If read-only access is defined for a folder, you cannot create any more subfolders, but you can delete, move, and change existing documents.

  • ITunes downloading very slow.

    Hi guys,
    I've experienced a vast decrease in speed on my iTunes for downloading apps and even using WiFi to download apps/updating them.
    Are there any problems currently with iTunes stores? Because this is the first time this has happened. I'm from SGP and my ISP speed is 15MBps. Appreciate if there's anyone out there who can help. Thanks alot.

    Hey there Kimber.c,
    It sounds like your Wi-Fi connection is very slow on this computer. I would try the steps in this section of the article named:
    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US
    Symptom: The Wi-Fi network seems slow
    Streaming movies may skip or pause.
    iTunes or other downloads may take an unusually long time to complete.
    Webpages may not load quickly.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Downloading very slow

    I recently updated ITunes Software.
    Now downloading is very slow. Many times connection to Music Store is lost.
    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem ?

    Yep I noticed the same issue JD20. I'm using SBC in the Bay Area and as soon as I go to download from iTunes I get throttled back. I have found that If I power cycle my modem and wait a minute or two and re-connect it improves for a while but then goesback to a crawl. I had 2.72 MBPS testd from various reliable sources then start Down-loading the new episope of Desperate Housewifes for my daughter and BAM 102Kpbs that's right 102K. I think Apple is getting singled out by ISP's and that stinks!!!

  • Download very slow

    My Macbook downloads very slowly, so that I have to wait longer for my Mac to download a video from youtube than it takes to show the video. Also having problems with Mac Updates. The smallest updates takes hours to download. I am not a heavy downloader so I only notice it on those occasions. Is this a common problem?
    Thanks.

    Go to www.speedtest.net and post the results
    A lot of times, what one thinks is OK is in fact quite slow. It may be perfectly fine, but in order to help the more details the better.
    Maybe it's an ISP issue?
    You say it's only on the one computer, so everything is fine on the others?

  • ITunes Match downloads very slow over LTE

    Hi, I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1.4. When downloading iTunes Match songs to my phone it is very slow over LTE taking roughly 1 minute per megabyte. Over wifi it is a lot faster taking perhaps less than 20 seconds per track on average. All other data based activity is fast over LTE so the issue does seem to be limited to iTunes Match downloads and is the same whether my music was matched or uploaded to to icloud.
    Any fixes/suggestions much appreciated. I have a brand new handset and restored my phone yesterday. I'm on the EE network in London.
    Thank you

    Hello Fabio,
    Just for confirmation.
    Is the Integration Services is updated on all VMs on that particular host? IC version.
    Could you please compare the vNIC properties/advanced between the functioning VM and the slowest VM network?
    All VMs have one vNIC or more than one?
    How are you copying out data from within the VM? \\IP Address\  OR \\DNS name\ ?
    Is the file transfer issue around the same two VMs?
    Could you please double check the Adapters and Bindings priority under
    Network Connection\Advanced\Advanced Settings?

  • RV180W Wireless Downloads very Slow

    I have a new RV180W just setup for business and everyhing was going perfect.
    No poblems of installing.
    All the computers who are connected by lan have no problem. Speed they have is around 17Mb download.
    All the laptops who are connected by Wifi are slow. The download speed they have is 1.9Mb download.
    No matter what i do or try i can't get the Wifi speed up.
    Before this we had an other router and we had speeds by Wifi up to 15Mb.
    No we bought a Cisco the best brand there is we think and we have big problems.
    Our company must download a lot of big files so speed is very important.
    Is it possible that the router can block the speed?
    Where must i search is there any one who can help us?
    If i do a speedtest from a laptop i get very stange number.
    Like 55Mb download and 13Mb Upload, impossible our line is not 55Mb
    Then next time i get 9Mb download and 10 Mb upload.
    We put already new firmware on it but that doesn't help.

    Dear Customer,
    Thank you for reaching the Small Business Support Community.

    - If using WPA Enterprise or WPA2 Enterprise Mixed for security, change it to a local authentication instead of   RADIUS server authentication.
    - Wireless Channel to auto
    Wireless > Advanced Settings
    Protection Mode. Select none (the default) to turn off CTS
    Request to Send (RTS) Threshold and Fragmentation Threshold, set to default value 2346

  • ICloud Email downloading very slow - TalkTalk UK

    Hello all,
    Please forgive me if I ramble but I'm entirely stumped by this.
    I have (and have had for a few years) an iCloud account along with a ".mac" email address.
    I have been using this address for the past 6 & a bit years on a succession of iPhones (currently an iPhone 5) as well as a new (2 months old) iMac - running Yosemite - without any problems.
    My broadband is provided by TalkTalk in the UK & whilst they're not perfect, usually things work ok.
    We're on a standard copper phone line with a download speed of approx 6.5 mbps and upload of around 750 kbps - not lightning fast but usually fine for us.
    Anyway, a problem has arisen in the last couple of days whereby if I'm connected to the WiFi, either on the phone or the iMac, email downloads via my iCloud account (at the ".mac" address) are painfully slow - headers for emails will arrive and then I'm left waiting ages - sometimes minutes - for the rest of the message to appear.
    I have searched both TalkTalk and Apple community forums to no avail & being as it's the weekend, Customer Services are not easily contacted.
    I have tried all the usual things - rebooted/reverted to factory settings on the router and switched off WiFi on the iPhone (emails download lightning fast on 4G thus proving to my satisfaction that the broadband connection is causing the slow d/l speed).
    Delivery & downloading content on other email accounts (both on the Mac & phone) is unaffected.
    The mail connection doctor within Mail.app on the Mac tells me we're connected fine to iCloud IMAP.
    The only thing I can think that might have caused an issue is the fact that yesterday I installed 'Plex' on the Mac with a view to streaming photos/videos etc on our Sony smart TV. It spent most of the day indexing & still didn't seem to function correctly so I got to the point where I aborted it and unistalled the app, as well as the preferences and other associated library info before emptying the trash, just to be sure..
    Could the installation of this software possibly have screwed up settings in the router related to handling of the iCloud info?
    I've looked in vain for any possible red flags in the router settings (I will confess to not wanting to mess with them) and have, as stated previously, restored the thing to Factory/ISP-settings without any joy.
    So, before I begin the long & painful process of calling Customer Support, is there anything I can realistically look at/check which might shed some light onm this?
    Any help VERY gratefully received..
    David.

    Hi there,
    If it's not your ISP or home network hub then try your mac DNS settings, download and install namebench and run it, see what settings it gives.
