what I need to do to have the video loaded from any part I decide to click on a video ? like youtube and some other website has ?

Hello jrxpress,

this technique is called pseudo-streaming and integrated in ViMP.
You can click to any part in the video, but the video has to be loaded till the part where you want to start.

cheers,

this way i had figured out ;-) but I'd like something like vimeo, youtube and some others have a way to click and load from there, so in this way people don't need to wait to load until the point we decide to watch, hope you understand my curiosity ;-)

also i would like to find a way to only play *.mp4 extension file and makes it correctly display on all devices and tablets and the all the major browsers for pc and mac users..

so in this way we don't need to run the *.flv extension, since its not allowed for some tablets.

so what about write in the player to fallback to any device or browser only using one video extension only.. so it would save lots of space on the sever..

I wrote something similar and works perfectly using one mp4 and perfectly plays on everything out there (ipad,iphone,ipod + pc and mac all major browsers)..

I really just suggest for vimp to have all those crazy extension fallback to html5 merged to one ;-) think about the poor people like me that can't afford a better dedicated server and can't full up the limit that quickly !!

so we really don't need *.flv files plus *.mp4 together anymore and could be resolve only by one important extension and i also head that since flv will slow down soon anyway, microsoft perhaps will drop it too like apple for the tablets.

Cheers,

Hello jrxpress,

what you see at vimeo and youtube is called "advanced progressive" and the ViMP-player doesn´t support this technique up to now.

With ViMP you’re not bound to FLV files. With the HD transcoding module you can transcode into MP4 files as well. But also with the HD transcoding module ViMP transcodes separate M4V files (which is a container for the h.264/x.264 codec just like MP4) for mobile devices with a smaller resolution. This is because of the smaller displays and the smaller data volume. For the desktop version of ViMP you can transcode in HD quality what doesn’t make sense for mobile devices and of course results in much bigger files that would have to be transferred to the mobile devices. Also some mobile devices can’t handle high resolution video files.

So if you only aim on mobile devices, two formats (FLV/MP4 and M4V) would be sufficient for you. The additional formats (WEBM, OGV) are for the HTML5 desktop player primarily. Firefox, e.g. only supports OGV and no MP4 in HTML5.

cheers,
