Apple QuickTime Fast Start Progressive Download Test

Synopsis: A test to determine whether Apple QuickTime Movie (.mov) files that have been saved with the Fast Start option will properly download in a progressive fashion. The embedded test file used here is approximately 32 MB in size, so even on a very high speed Internet connection, playback should begin long before the file has completely downloaded to the visitor's system.
