Hello,
On my website, I host a lot of movie trailers. I also host some licensed animated movies.
Here's my problem: Sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes to view a few of these on dial-up modems (has to download and then buffer). Currently I'm using the browser built-in players (the code) for Windows Media Player, Quicktime, and RealPlayer.
I was wondering if I could use PHP to possibly send the output in packets if it posed as the .MOV, .RM, or .WMV file. Well, I know I can do that (not really sure how?). But is there any way those players will allow me to actually feed packets so that it doesn't have to download and buffer huge files?
Thanks for any help. This is all part of me trying to optimize everything on the user's end.
Thanks,
Dan
