That shouldn't be an effect here, since those plugins/widgets don't capture the stream off the network device (packet socket), where packets could get lost. FLV usually doesn't react good on dropouts either, it's not streamed via UDP for that reason, I guess. So I'm not quite sure if you can overcome the jumps... But FWIW, my method is to "start" the video (i.e. clicking on it so the flash player opens), then immediately pause it. When the player's "gray bar" filled up, the FLV is waiting for a quick "cp" on the command line as temporary file in /tmp (named "Flash<random string>"). Some flash players utilize the browser to download the FLV, then it will be in the browser's cache directory. Works all the time, I don't bother with extensions/plugins anymore... BTW, my preferred player for those is vlc. But it should work with any player linked against a reasonably recent ffmpeg. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
