streaming time?

[zaxis]

I am streaming differnt sized movies in flash, I can get the total movie time in seconds, how do I calculate how many seconds to buffer, so that the video can play on broadband and dialup with no pausing?

count how many fps you have & how many frames long it is...So for instance, if your movie is set to 12 FPS & your movie is 48 frames long, then your movie is 4 seconds long...

thanks for your reply, but, that's not at all what I was asking, so let me clairify, my movie frame rate is 12 fps, the movie I am streaming is 23.456 seconds long, the question is, how many seconds of video should I prebuffer so the video plays with no interuption, this number needs to be dynamic so it prebuffers the correct amount on dial up and DSL lines etc...

Example: quick time movies have a loading bar, but plays before the entire movie has loaded, because it has figured out your connection speed.

Ok, well, I really don't know what you could do other than putting a preloader in, but I'm sure you already thought of that...
