I'm absolutely new to the use of embedded videos. And, I'm trying to embed an mp4 video into a Wordpress site (I'm new to WP also) … sigh …

 

So, I've installed the plug-in (KVS FLV Player) and activated it.

I've substituted the client's site info into the FLV parameters as such:

[flv:Login to see this link

 

But, when “previewing” the page, the video takes a L-O-N-G time to load. The clock-face circles/bubbles that rotate to show the activity of the video loading spins for, it seemed like, 5+ minutes before it started! (it's a 275mb file!)

 

Is this file too humongous to use? It does play for 4 minutes. Whereas, another video on the site is only minute in duration and starts up as soon as the page loads.

 

What do you suggest I can do to get this to play more quickly upon the page loading, or clicking on the video to play?

 

Thanks!

Glen

This happens because the site you are embedded video from is very slow. Try to download that mp4 file via your browser directly and you see it will take the same amount of time.
