Hello!! Thanks for the answers, unfortunately I came into something really disgusting: My 1'500 mb FLV (1960 x 1440) cannot play smoothly in FLASH (player, ide, browser). BECAUSE OF FLASH, not because of the FLV file. So streaming it or not streaming it wasn't the point I had to concentrate my efforts on. But, if I play the exact same FLV in VLC it is beautiful, smooth and blasting (I mean a video played at 1960 * 1440 cannot be anything else than *blasting*). So, my choice went for layering VLC over Flash and playing the FLV.... really really sad... now, I read once that Flash was very weak at displaying images higher than 1000x1000 .... I can only but confirm this bad boy behaviour ... this is sad, as more and more computers are displaying 1600 x 1200 and higher resolutions ... :( poor flash
anyway, CAN someone explain me WHY VLC plays better FLV files than Flash Player itself ?
