Streaming WMV in Website

I have a wmv file converted from a vob file and uploaded to a website.
The wmv was downgraded to a file size of 25 MB instead of the original vob which was 85 MB.
I used an embedding http code and the interface is with control buttons and automatic start.
The problem that I have is that it shows a message about buffering and percentage and starts showing the movie only after it has downloaded the whole file (buffering 100%).
Is there another code which enables it to show the movie immediately (or after buffering 5-10%), instead of 100%?

Here is the code that I used, it is on this page:

Just found that it might be better to convert the vob to flv, instead of wmv.
Will give it a try.
 
.flv files are far more common nowadays in embedded site links.
 
The problem is in profile which you've used during encoding. If WMV profile is not for streaming (just for local playback), it will require full buffering until playback. You better use microsoft windows media encoder solution, which is free, and much more powerful.
