Progressive MP4 in embedded flash video player

[The111]

I am learning how to put streaming MP4 video on my website using OpenVideoPlayer. However, the MP4 files I create will not play until they are completely loaded in the client's browser, while the MP4 that OVP uses in their example streams "progressively" (plays/loads simultaneously like Youtube).

mine: 69MB, 4:00, takes almost 2 minutes to load

theirs: 54MB, 10:00, loads progressively

The code is identical... the only difference is the MP4 file itself. So how do I encode an MP4 file for streaming applications? Is this even the right place to ask? Currently I'm just using the Sony Vegas AVC render option, 2Mbps. Don't see anything in there about streaming options.

Thanks!

you need to use yamb to move the atoom to the beggining of the mp4 so that it streams progressivly.

Tools like AutoMkv, Xvid4psp do this automatically, but remuxing the mp4 with yamb works the same

or

put the mp4 and mp4box on a folder, create a bat file with the following command:

mp4box -inter 500 name_of_the_video.mp4

and run the bat file

Yamb worked like a charm... thanks!!!
