title: Edited: how to play large embedded videos from my own server?
body: <p>I've edited this post to better fit the scope of Stackoverflow:</p>
  
  <p>I have very large video files-500-600Meg each that I want to play from my own server.  I figured it was as simple as uploading the video and clicking to the url, but when i do that, the quicktime player comes up in my browser, but after two minutes I give up because it looks like it is trying to buffer the whole video before playing-or something?</p>
  
  <p>What do I need to be able to embed my own videos on my own server and have them start playing quickly when a user clicks play?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!
