Video problem

I added a .FLV video file to my website. http://www.bleirvik.no
When I start it, the music start playing, but the image turn into a vertical white stripe.
If I click on that stripe a couple of times, the movie starts as it should do in the first place.
Is this a bug, or is it something i´ve done wrong?

Thank you for a masterpiece of a website generator, I really love it :)

When I first access your video, I see this:

This is just while it is pre-buffering ...

Shortly after, it resizes and starts playing, and I see this:

VERY nice gallery by the way. I have a few quick suggestions:

# For your video page, since you only have a single video, you may want to skip displaying the thumbnail and go directly to the video. This can be achieved with folder parameters:
https://www.photo.gallery/documentation/folder-parameters/

Set this in your folder parameters, for this folder:
Code
settings.startmode=image
# You have some nice pictures on the startpage. Unfortunately, the startpage filemod does not scale images down to fit smaller screens. Perhaps you should consider using the slideshow by folder-parameters instead. Then it will scale down images to fit the visitors screen if necessary.

(Scroll down to examples -> slideshow, and see the code)

# You could perhaps add all your photo folders under a main category [+] Portfolio at the top of the menu. This would make the menu a bit clearer and not so long, but still stand out with the darker text. Just a suggestion from my side.

This gallery would easily be new featured gallery of the week if you want to add it to our list:

Thank you very much for your informative answers :)
Sometimes the video looks like that, but not always. Sometimes after the buffering, the picture turns into a vertical white stripe, and the music from the video starts but without any film.
That could off course be in my browser that this error accure.( Mac and Chrome browser )

But i have changed some of the things you suggested.

Thank you very much for your great support :)
