Getting the videos to load Faster

[chrisj]

I have several of these on my web page, and they work successfully, but I'm wondering how I might make the videos load faster?
Would having the mp4's stored in seperate folders help them load faster? Or having them in seperate sources like seperate cloud accounts?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

<div id="content1">
<div class="tn3gallery1">
<ol>
<li>
<div class="tn3 content">
<video width="135" height="130" type="video/mp4" poster="../img/test.jpg" src="../video/test.mp4"></video>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
</div>

Separate folders wont help.

You can make them smaller, be sure that they are progressive(start playing before entire clip is downloaded), faster web host.

Thanks for your reply.

The problem isn't that they need to "start playing before entire clip is downloaded", but to get them downloading faster.
By "making them smaller" do you mean compress them? Or do you mean something else?
Any other ideas to get them downloading faster will be appreciated.

Yes. Compress them more=smaller.

How big are they now? Bitrate? Frame size/resolution?
