video on web

[Charles Silverman]

Hi,
Is there any way to monitor the time it takes a progressive video to 
actually start playing in a player object? I'd like to be able to 
provide a "video loading" or other appropriate messages, and make the 
message go away when the video starts to play. Ideally having some way 
to gauge how long the wait will be would be great.

Where does the video get stored on the hard drive?

thanks,
Charles Silverman
