Hi Chris, When I try to play my MP4's in the engage player via download, the video will not start playing until the entire file has downloaded. If I encode to FLV the video will start playing immediately. I have read the reason for this is that H.264/MP4 files contain metadata at the end of the file which the flash player needs before it can start playing. Using qt-faststart to move this metadata to the beginning of the file is supposed to resolve this issue. Has anyone had the same experience? Is there a better solution?
