How to reduce video transmission latency

[Chinmaychitale]

Hello,

I have developed a video transmission and viewing application . I am facing a problem of one way video latency of about 6 seconds.

Adobe says that the latency can be reduced to about 3 seconds one way. I have set up the buffertime for transmitter about 3 seconds.

Please can  anyone suggest me how to reduce the latency from 6 seconds to about 3 seconds ??

Thanks,

if this is a flash media server question, you should post in that forum.

otherwise, for a progressive download file server, decrease the bitrate of your video.  it's not unusual for developers to use two or more videos with different bitrates and send the one appropriate to the users download speed.
