I am trying to play video that have been created with Quicktime and include the Fast Start option. However, when I attempt to play the videos, the screen is blank until the entire video loads.

I am able to play these videos through Safari with an issue.

Any ideas?

A bit of an update here.

These videos are being served by an FTP server. I uploaded the same video to two different FTP servers. It has to completely load on one server but plays with fast start on the other.

Does the issue lie in the server? Why would Firefox deal with two FTPs differently?
