I'm using prettyPhoto on a new site of mine with Quicktime movies sitting in my video folder on my webspace (set as Progressive Download With Compressed Headers via AfterEffects export). Thing is, when I click on the thumbnail, it seems the movie file is not progressively downloading, but instead displays a blank prettyPhoto floating window interface until it finally (fully) downloads. Is there anything I can or need to do to make it progressively download so it's not such a long wait? I've coded everything as outlined in the documentation, and the files themselves are (supposedly) exported as Progressive.
Faling all that, is there any way to Progressively download a file without prettyPhoto? If I embed the file in my page with the standard / method, it seems to do the same non-Progressive download (showing the Q until it is fully downloaded).
Only solution I could find to any of this is to put my clips on YouTube, as that seems to stream the download (and just seems faster overall).
