Is that how web servers do it? They start their own players to stream out video files?
I was hoping there is a video format somewhere that can be displayed live while it is being downloaded. I thought this was what streaming video was all about... By the way, to those who (like me) have been waiting for a good video editor for Linux, my recent browsing seems to indicate two that stand out (because they are not crashy). Open Shot for instance is essentially unusable for me because it crashes too often. The first 8is KDEnlive (v0.9.10 -- v0.9.8 still crashed occasionally according to one reviewer, but v0.8.10 seems have finally eliminated the crashes). I used KDEnlive right after I downloaded it (and for the first time too), and I managed to quickly convert .mp4 to .flv. No crash too. It's a good start. The second is -- surprise, surprise -- Blender. I tried it a few years back and although it was already stable even then, couldn't really handle the steep learning curve. But there are lots of tutorials on youtube. It turns out that Blender also has a built-in video editor, and it works fine, according to reviewers. (I haven't tried Blender yet, only KDEnlive).
