as far as it is no configuration of your player this may depend on your 
video.
there are different encodings and differrent ways to store the 
video-information in the file.
you may store this video-information at the beginning or the end of the 
file:
with small files (which can be loaded fast) there is nearly no 
difference as filling the play-buffer is like loading the complete file.
with big files this may differ:
storing the information at the beginning: the video can be started as 
soon as the buffer has been filled.

storing the information at the end: the full file must to be downloaded 
before the viedo can start (and this may take a while)
