Videos start very slowly

I have downloaded the player but my videos start after 15 seconds buffering.

Videos are 1Mbps video bitrate, MP4, 800x450

Is it normal that it takes so long?

What could be good settings to display video of size 800x450?

I have tried a lot of settings and encoding settings.

Thanks,

Jim

You need to post-process the MP4 files with MP4Box to move the boxes to the front of the file for faster starting. Some video encoders also have a "fast-start" option that does the same thing.
MP4Box -inter 0.5 videofilename.mp4

Google for MP4Box

Oh My God... This seemed the key of the solution that I was looking for for days.

Thank you very much for your reply. It helped tremendously.
