looping video

I don't have any problem using a small looped video (actually I use this a lot in the panoramas). Usually I use the loops as distorted hotspots like:

<hotspot name="videoloop"
		url="/plugins/videoplayer.swf"
		ath="241.3853891354309" atv="18.90014768280232"
	        rx="0" ry="0" rz="0.66715833058627"
	        zoom="true"
		distorted="true"
		width="190" height="160"
		scale="0.8114799743852854"
		enabled="false"
		handcursor="false"
	        videourl="%CURRENTXML%/video/loop.flv"
/>

The problem I'm having is that the loop is not seamless. There's a slight delay between the last and the first frame. I think this is due in part to the FLV format. If I export it as a MOV it plays seamlessly but I need the alpha support so I'm stuck with FLV.

Maybe Klaus can shed some light on this matter?

The same problem, , still need answer. Please.
video freezing in the loop mode

I've just found out now that every video that I've used is having the freezing behavior. It must be something related to a Flash Player update? This really sucks

It's a problem which i have noticed only in internet browser.
When i start panorama from swf. file on my local machine the video
playing really continuously, whithout freezing whitch i have mention
before. So, it's not problem of Flash Player. Sorry for my English.

Dimma:

I've looked at your examples and it happens in both Safari and Chrome on the Mac. The video freezes for 1 second, that's what happens also on mine. It's impossible to create a seamless loop now.
