Are you streaming your files from a realserver, . or via http? I think if
you stream them from a realserver, ... you'll notice that
the seeking funtionality is much more efficient.

Subject: How to avoid re-buffering?
Hello,
I've been using RealVideo on my website for a while now, and I really like
it. I'd like to use it on my site exclusively, but the visitors to my
website have one big problem with it: Every time they want to fast forward
or rewind, the video clip has to re-buffer. That's really unacceptable for
someone who wants to jump around or pause and advance frame by frame.
My question is: Is there any way to create a clip that doesn't have to
re-buffer, or is there maybe an advanced version of the real player that
enables the client to avoid rebuffering clips?
I've been using RealVideo in conjunction with AVI and Quicktime, but I'd
like to narrow it down to one format. And I'd like it to be RealVideo, since
it seems to have the best quality video with the smallest file sizes, and
it's so universally compatible.
I'd really appreciate any advice you can give. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Atkinson
