The most common reason in my experience is that the movie has been edited but not flattened since it was made. If you do a save as self-contained movie as the very last step, it should play correctly by progressive download. >B Kevin Baird --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "ojjolly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Could anyone please tell me why some of my mov files will start to play > before being completely downloaded, and others must be completely > downloaded before playing?

Thanks for your response, Kevin, but this didn't work for me. I cleared my cache and history before downloading to be sure I was downloading the new flattened mov. I always go from uncompressed mov, then export the movie to ipod (m4v), then save as self-contained movie, so I think the old file was actually already flattened. I do it this way so that the file will play on an ipod. My older movies played by progressive download in a browser. My new ones do not. I was wondering if pehaps there was some setting somewhere that I switched inadvertently.

I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think m4v files will Fast-Start. On the technical side, just "flattening" the video file won't cause it to Fast-Start (i.e. Progressive Download). You'll need to check for the Fast-Start option when exporting from your application; there's a difference between flattened and fast-start. -- joshpaul SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Use Explains YAHOO!

Thanks, Josh. I have found the Fast-Start option in my application (Vegas) and I indeed may have changed something there. I was under the impression that that option had more to do with streaming from a streaming server though.
