Hello! You are getting the FLVs to the client using "progressive download" which is not the same as streaming. If you want to really stream it to the client you need something like red5.
Progressive download works and for prerecorded content it should be sufficient, especially if the files are small. There are several advantages to streaming, debates all over the web, but some of them are: - No need to fill up the client's harddrive to play your files. - The content never stays on the client, which helps for rights-managed media - You can stream live content, it is hard to "progressive download" live content - You can seek to any point in the file, irrespective whether it has been downloaded yet. Good luck! -Niels prt wrote: > Hi to all, > > I have Apache2 WebServer. > And i have videos clips in FLV format(I convert the videos from AVI to FLV). > I have SWF FLV player in html page, that users can see from the web. > > The SWF player load the FLV from link "http://myip/flvs/flv5.flv";, > The Apache serve this link(Request). > > My question is, It is take advantage of the FLV format, It is play the FLV > in streaming. > > Or that i have to use Red5 to serve tha FLV files ? > > Thank you all, sorry about my english. > _______________________________________________ Red5 mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org
