QuickTime Movies Take Too Long to Open - Why?
I have a number of QuickTime movies that were created to be posted to a website. For whatever, reasons, the movies take a very long time to open - minutes!. The videos vary in length, some as large as 40MB. I downloaded a 3rd party .mov that was 80MB, and uploaded it the website - it had a fast start - meaning, it started playing within 5 seconds. So, what settings should I check for on the .mov I have? There is something obviously wrong as I would expect the movies start playing once a certain percentage was saved locally.
I have QT Pro, so please let me know what steps I take to view what settings the videos were exported as. Also, if I need to modify the .mov, will I need to export each one?
Thanks.

Oh, and yes, you will unfortunately need to re-export all movies again.

When I added a watermark and did "Save", the settings were lost. A simple "Save As" adds the fast streaming again - no export required.
