Hi,
Normally on larger commercial sites, you usually have a few different
versions of videos and the code/cookies determines what kind of speed
you have on computer/network and load the correct video to match your
ability to play the video.
As far as a single big file like you have, i would look into the
Akamai settings and see if you could increase the buffer a bit so it
loads in more of the video before it plays. And also make sure the
site/video player you have is optimized and supports streaming video,
especially of a video size like that.
Hope that helps.

Hey all, wondering if anyone can give me direction on this:
I have a large video site, the vid area is 1000x600. Videos are
streaming from Akamai.
It's playing fine on large computers w/fast connections; Needless to
say it's getting chugging on slower/older setups.
I would like to enable the range of computers it works on by
optimizing the video.
which one of the following would work better:
1. shrink the data rate from like 850kbps to like 550kbps
2.export the video at like 800x400 and then stretch it up.
Obviously I could just try this, but I'm wondering what the logic
behind it is and if there are any best practices.
Thanks!
