Do you mean "fast-start" or stream? You can save movie/audio files so they will start playing before the download is complete, but it's not streaming.

We run Darwin Streaming Server on linux with both RTP/RTSP UDP streaming and HTTP TCP streaming. Agreed that http downloads are a LOT easier. Figure on spending a month learning how to properly stream with Darwin/Quicktime.

You can stream without using a streaming server, and I have found little benefit of using a steaming server, except for multicasts and things like that.

Also, FLV, is your best bet for compatibility, and you can stream flv, using any http server, the player will handle it just nicely.

Sorenson Squeeze has some nice tools for going right to FLV.

We need to be able to stream video clips of the DVD's on the customers site. They are an all Mac based company but I see video editing tools that will save moves as swf or flv I guess it would be easier if we could save them
as WMV files then IE 6 would just server them.

So questions

If we prefer to just do this out of IE 6
Are their tools to convert different formats to wmv
If we need to support two formats is there another format we can use that
will work with IE 6?
I tried flv and while it works in preview mode great on my local machine when I upload the file and the three components to the server it does not
work at all.

And lastly although they should be able to get the clips from the producers of the video's if they have trouble can they just take the trailers off the
DVD for those that have them?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
