View Full Version : Playing FLVs from a CD-Rom (Playback issue)

THE BASICS
---------------------------------------------------------------
I am using flash to present 2 FLV files via a CD Rom.

THE ISSUE
---------------------------------------------------------------
The FLV files are quite large, 1x 40mb file and 1x 43mb file (dimensions 1024x576). Playback on a high end PC with 2GB Ram is great, no staggering in the playback. Testing this on a high-end Mac too yeilds no performance issues with playback.

However, when the settings are reduced to a low-end PC/Mac, there are glitches in the audio and staggering in the visual playback as the lower spec machine tries to cope as best it can with the Hi-Res video.

The flv files are externally loaded into a movie clip that is designed for FLV playback using a buffer speed 0.1.

QUESTION:
-----------------------------------------------
Does anyone have any tips/ advice on the best way to resolve the staggered playback, audio glitching.

The obvious routes ahead of me are;
------------------------------------------------
Reduce the quality of the FLVs I am playing.
Reduce the dimensions of each FLV.
Cut the FLV into smaller pieces and link them together via the movie clip loader (NOT sure how to do that though?)

Does anyone have any advice on my annoying problem?
Thanks for reading.
