1. Re: i have imported .wmv video into director with link to external file but it take forever to start the movie or connect to others
What "takes forever to load" - the Director file/projector when it starts, or navigating to a frame containing the video sprite?

Hi Sean, yes the director file itself takes a long time to open and also the projector takes a long time to load. Once the director file or projector is opened then the videos in that director movie in the sprite frames will play quite happily but when i click to another director movie it then stalls for quite a while before opening the next director movie. I have several director movies that are linked together. They contain many videos and connect together instantly when i am using quicktime,mp4 and other formats. But I need to use .wmv on windows for the project. It seems as if the director file is loading the movies into memory before opening and not using it as an external cast member. Also using .wmv doesnt give me an option for DTS.
Can you help.

I think your best bet is to abandon WMV use MP4. You can play these using the Flash Asset xtra or MP4Asset xtra and they provide good quality compression as H264. Valentin Schmidt has a demo here
Why do you say
