Questions about Smooth advertising and messages displayed on player screen related to ads

[juanchi]

I don't know if this can be accomplish but is it possible to create a hulu like experience with brightcove when it comes to terms of advertisement?  When you load a video in hulu you notice that it only buffer at the beginning and from that point everything is smooth, the show or movie start right after the pre-rolls and the same happens with ads inside the show, no more "buffering" well at least you don't notice it.  Can this also be done in brightcove, anyone have an idea of how they do it?

And the other thing is that I will like also a message in hulu like your program will start in xx:xx minutes or "Ad x of x", I'm using and openx, can this be done with a brightcove player? Thanks for any responds to these questions.

Hello,

So I want to confirm, are you looking for something different than this experience?

It comes close to what I'm looking for and I noticed that the video ad started inmediatley at the cue point but could it be because it is the same video ad from the beginning?, what happen if I have a total different video or two video adds at that cue point, will they start as fast as in the demo that you posted and at the end return inmediatley to the normal video?

I will set one up with a different mid roll ad, but it shouldn't make a difference.

Thanks! I can see that it can be done but the other thing that I will like know if you can display on the video screen a text like: "this is AD X of X, your video wil start in xx:xx", I know openx support displaying this type of messages cause I try it on jwplayer and it worked but I don't know if this can be done with the brightcove player.
