There are a lot of variables at play here. The data center may be serving the content slow. Are you using progressive download or streaming via RTMP? Flex video is definitely there, though depending on audience and environment, it seems a lot of people tend to code their own AS3 players to avoid the the bloated size of the compiled SWF player when including the flex mx.* libraries (i.e use flash.media.Video object natively versus mx.controls.VideoDisplay wrapper, etc.).

I am using a Flex video player component I downloaded to play flvs within an application. All seemed well when we were testing off of localhost urls. Now that we are pulling videos from a remote datacenter, it is Sloooowww. Like, a ten minute video downloads off localhost in seconds, while a 30 second one from the datacenter takes a minute or more! Is there anything that can be done about this? My co-worker mentions it might have to do with chunk size, is there any way to adjust it? or is Flex video just not there yet? I noticed all the classes are "mx_internal." Would I be better off just loading an external swf and going with old reliable Jereon Wijering(sp??) player? has anyone compared the speed of the two approaches?
