Hi Jacque,

no, tons of ram (2 gigs, 4 apps running, and the download time difference between 3 and 5 mb is negligible on a 6mbs cable modem.

other interesting developments:

alwaysbuffer set to true does not seem to improve things.

setting the alwaysbuffer to true also seems to lock out mouseclicks on the controller. stopping and starting can then only be accomplished with the spacebar in this mode, play/pause and forward/reverse are disabled.

I got the video to stream from a real quicktime streaming server, and it worked. However, it did not automatically size to its proper height and width as it does using a http or local file reference, but instead shrunk to the default size.

In that case it appears one must know the dimensions in advance.


I've displayed 60 meg movies in a player object so I don't think there's a size limitation, but the movies I ran were saved to disk. Could it be there's not enough RAM? Or that it is taking a long time to download that much movie?

I've created a player in rev that reads Quicktime movies from a web server. Rev 2.7.4, enterprise, Mac OS X latest.

It works quite well, and I was happily in the process of making the tutorials, when the third, longer movie I made would seem to load without errors, but would not show.

Is there a limit to the size of a QT movie that can be displayed? I can show a 3mb movie, but 4 and 5 mb movies don't show.

Right now I'm just loading them right in via http: and the URL command.
