Hi There!

First of all, I don't think this is an Imagevue bug, but a flv video related one. Still I hope someone can give me some help.

I am wondering why my showreel video is taking so long to load after I click the thumbnail. The white screen keeps sitting there for 4 to 5 seconds before the player starts, and this is much longer compared to my other video's, some of which are about the same length and resolution.

I tried different resolutions and bitrates, but even the smallest video or bitrate (600kbps) take as long as the HD 4500 kbps ones.
I put three of the same flv's in different formats on my homepage so you can see for your self. The first one (with the working thumbnail) is HDres 4500kbps, the second one 1024res 600kbps, and the third one really small (I don't know what kbps)

The site is www.layerlab.nl

What can I do about it? Particulary this video is the most important for me to load fast, because it's the first movie that people should see on my site, as it is a compilation of my work.

Help would me much appreciated!

I tried increasing the buffer time to 10, but the loading time stays the same, only the video starts playing later.

The speed I get from downloading a file directly from my server is around 600 kbps.


I think it's strange because when you look at if it's because of HD or not, it doens't seem like that's the problem. For example, the following two HD movies have the same issue (slightly shorter loading time)

But the following two HD movies don't have any loading time, allthough they are compressed in the same way with the same settings:

Strange right?
