Does anyone have any experience of how to do this?
QuickTime video can be encoded to stream off of a video server, or
it can be encoded to stream off of any standard web server like
you're already using to host your current web site. This second
method of streaming is the most popular and is commonly referred
to as http streaming, or QuickTime progressive download (a.k.a
fast start).
Ideally I'd like to be able to play then without having to download
the movie first - and then have the data locally.
If you specify a URL for a streaming QuickTime movie file,
Revolution displays the movie sequentially as it downloads.
Otherwise, Revolution must download the entire file before you can
play it. To pre-fetch a file from the Internet in order to speed
up access to it, use the load command before visiting the card
that holds the player or image that references the file's URL.
OK - but in either case where is the downloaded QuickTime file and
how can I copy it to a permanent store?
A final question is which is a faster or more reliable method to
use (given that I can access the files either by ftp or http:
load url
or
libURLDownloadToFile
And is there a way to resume a download after pausing it for some
reason?
You should probably be aware of bug: <http://support.runrev.com/
bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=1239> when it comes to streaming media.
