As an example, I have hard coded an .mp4 to the QuickTime control of an episode of GeekBrief.TV hosted on their server. After the entire file downloads, it starts playing in the control. What I'm wanting is that the control starts playing it, buffering as it downloads more, so you don't have to wait for the whole video podcast to download before it plays.

Like on YouTube, you find a video, it starts playing right away, and you can see it start buffering the back-end of the video as you watch the first part. I want to do the same sort of thing here.

My issue is that I am not hosting the files my users will be viewing. I'm building a web based video podcast aggregator where the user adds an RSS feed to .mov files, for example, and when they click a link to a specific episode, I'll send the QuickTime control the .mov url. I want it to start playing right away. How do I achieve this??

To see what I'm talking about, I've left the GeekBrief.TV episode on the main page control. Just hit http://www.feedsauce.com and see for yourself. The episode does eventually start, but I want it to kind of start and buffer right away.

Looking forward to anyone's suggestions on how to achieve this. Tnx. -Corby-
