I'm trying to embed a video file into my website. I have it working and everything but it seems to download the whole file before it plays it. Is there a parameter that I can add to make it use a buffer time instead?

post the code that you have so i can see if youre missing something, since it should buffer anyways

the code is right, but i dont think the server is setup right to do streaming video. my advise is use a secondary host, like youtube, and embed it that way

not a bad idea. I'll try to do that.
