Could also be that the files weren't encoded for *streaming* playback, so IE is attempting to open the entire file. At 300MB, it's going to be downloading a bit before video playback starts, as there wouldn't be any streaming buffer available. By default I believe that IE will attempt to play videos within the browser by default using either QuickTime or Windows Media Player so if they eventually play, that might be a culprit.
