What's the actual bitrate (300-400 mb doesn't say anything if the length of a movie is say 1 hour.

Your clients might not have enough bandwidth to see the videos properly. Either increase the bufferlength on the client (e.g. from 1-2 seconds to 10-15 seconds) so you can overcome stuttering and/or downscale the videos and offer 2 (or more) bitrates to your customers so they can pick the optimum quality for their connection.

CDN is fine but there might always be clients that are far from a (CDN) server or have some 512 kbit shared cable/xDSL link that just can't handle your premium streams.

HI All,
We are currently launching a new on-demand travel videos website.
Videos are in FVL format and playing through Red5 streaming server on a dedicated rackspace server in the US. We have this working and some people have reported excellant quality of delivery etc. However others have reported videos are stop/starting a lot. They have checked other video sites and they run perfectly. So we are wondering where exactly can we improve our site?
Out video are high quality 300-400mb videos, 24FPS. Audio: Sample Rate 22050, 32Kbit/sec, mono

Is Red5 the issue? Would moving the videos to CDN improve things much?
Ant other considerations we need to take into account on the users side?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

tks
