making an FLV start at a certain frame or time

[paulweb2]

hello all,

im using an flv, the first 1-2 seconds of this movie for some reason or another starts out at a pretty bad quality, the video is slightly colorized differently and it just looks grainy / pixelated.

im hoping theres a way to force the flv to go to a certain place past the ugly beginning. so the first time a user comes to the site , the video is just paused at second two and when they hit play it just starts from that point. (so the ugly looking start is just never seen)

im sure the video could be edited as well.. so if theres a way for me to chop out the start of the video , i could go that route as well if easier, im just pretty clueless here right now as to how to achieve this.

assuming you are using the flv playback component.
where instance name = my_flv

my_flv.contentPath = "your.flv";
my_flv.playheadTime = 5//position where you want to start playing.
my_flv.play() 

hope this helps.
