Have a flash video player that mimics the functionality of the youtube player regarding video input. I believe this is called "progressive download". I'm using Amazon Cloudfront to server up the video, and it asks me if the distribution is "download" or "streaming". Which one should I choose for this kind of player?
note: this is NOT live video streaming...its just basic, static FLV file playing similar to what the youtube player does.
This would be streaming as someone would play the video. Download is downloading the .flv file and then playing it on a person's computer rather than in his web browser.
