Question

Video starting incorrectly

I have created several modules using one video and distributing the video across multiple slides in each module but with a different start and end for each module.

The problem I am experiencing with some of the modules is that they are starting with a brief glimpse of or freezing to buffer on a frame from the beginning of the movie rather than at the start I indicated for the slide.

Here are some screenshots to better explain:

This is the "quick glimpse" that the participant sees before the video jumps to where it is suppose to start:

This is where it is suppose to start and and end for this particular module (same module as above):

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Because the videos are progressive download, you cannot jump to a point in the video without the previous portion of the video downloading first. So if you try to start at the 10:00 minute mark, all of the video before that point needs to download.

The only way around this is to use true streaming video (rtmp) or a service like YouTube, which emulates true streaming over https.
