The video is meant to be around 30 minutes. Also I am going to try another flv player because the current one does only live streaming and doesn't do playback. Also the current one is slow at processing as I calculated the speed to be about 0.08kbps for the video.
I just changed the viewer that plays the video so try again. Also note that after you start playing it - wait for 15 seconds then drag the circle on the bar back to the very beginning. That should act as a buffer until I pay for the upgraded software.
I got the buffer working but does anybody recommend a better flv player and if so what's the link to the download/docs?
[Edit]
After trying 4 flv players only 1 of them renders on the fly. Could this be because of all the compression I have done on the flv file? Would it be better if the flv file was less compressed? At the moment the video is on the follow specs
Visual Bitrate: 512
Audio Bitrate: 32
Frames per second: 24
Frame size: 640x480
[/Edit]
So do you think I should increase the visual bitrate for faster interpretation from flash?

For me the video loads fast enough that the buffer really doesn't matter. I downloaded the actual flv file and played it with Media Player Classic and it is only 9 minutes. The tutorial is cut off when you start coding the for loop (see the link below).
I am going to upload a new flv file tonight and hopefully that will solve this unknown problem and I have also changed the compression ratios so that although it is still about the same size it might load faster and will have more frames per second. I will try playing the video from start to finish for you.
[edit]
I just played the entire video and saw what you were talking about. The new video should be posted by some time tomorrow. Takes about 5 or 6 hours to upload.

I haven't tried the other players, but I'm sure they have something similar. The only way to do it in a standard way, would be to use a media streaming server that Flash understands, like Red5. http://osflash.org/red5

You should set up the flash player locally, and test the video before uploading if you don't already...

The only problem with that is it loads instantly instead of buffered. Also the new flv is uploaded but the quality is rather poor. So I will try and double the quality and upload another new flv file but I have tested the first 18 minutes of the clip and it didn't blank out (the new flv). Also tonight I shall upload the new flv file with will be something like 270MB. The link to this current video without the blankout is at http://www.syntax.cwarn23.info/media/index.html
I have just found two flv players and am asking which do you think is the better one? The links are as follows: http://syntax.cwarn23.info/media/default.html
and http://syntax.cwarn23.info/media/index.html
Do you think index.html is better or default.html? Also what do you think of the information quality from the video tutorial any one of the above two links?
