QT Movies to play while DLing?

[PaulyC]

Im looking for the script which allows an Encoded Quicktime movie, thats been encoded with fast start, to be able to play while the movie file is still downloading. Like most quicktime Movies you see for download online. If there is a script that exists to do this, i would appreciate it,since i cannot find out any other reason this will not play until the movie has been completely downloaded.
Hope this makes sense, thanks again

Porbally because the movie is encoded and it needs to download all the encyrption before playing which means it would be impossible to do it in an internet based programming language. JavaScript won't be able to help there, your talking hard windows based coding.

You probally want it to stream, try changing the format of the file to something else, a WMA file, or even just a norm MPG file.

It will play as it download then if on a server that supports it.

Yes I want it to stream like you say, but it needs to be in Quicktime. not wma or mpg. i dont have problems with those. You can stream with quicktime. I mean this is a definate, you can just go to apple.com to see, the only thing it could be perhaps if it cannot be done with the encoding or with Java, is a server situation, meaning my server would need to handle streaming perhaps? Guessing, i dont know.. thanks again.
