Buffering Videos

[Krus1972]

I am using the HTML EMBED tag to embed video on a web page. The video file is located in the same location as the webpage. The embed HTML tag automatically uses the Media player browser plug-in to display the video. This is fine.

The problem is that the video file is large and the media player does not buffer the video. As a result the video starts and stops on it's own. If the user stops the video then video streaming stops and there is no buffering of the video.

Does anyone know if there is a javascrpt method that will tell the user's browser to buffer the video so it doesn't start and stop ?


Thanks for any help

I guess that will strongly depend on the user configuration ..

I am just wondering if there is a javascript method that will tell the users' browser to buffer the video regardless if the video is playing or not. The video needs to keep buffereing so it plays smoothly.

Any ideas?
