How to deal with large flv files?

[actiondark]

Hi

Anyone knows if there are ways to compress very big flv files?
The flv video file i have is currently about 58MB and the length of the video is 17minutes. The client hopes to play the whole video on his website, are there any methods to help? And what is a reasonable file size for a flv file online?

On a fast (broadband) connection there shouldn't be any problems...

Of course on a dialup, considering it's +/- 5-7 minutes to download 1 MB, the wait will be tremendous!

Hi atomic, thanks for your reply.

So you meant that a 58mb flv video will not be a problem for progressive download?

Not on a fast broadband connection... The user's that is!
