Regarding Videos

I'm a little confused...
I placed a 25mg Quicktime movie in htdocs and it played fine from my computer, but people who access the file publically have to wait for the 25 megs to download to their computer, right?
And this file is compressed.
Yet, I go to some sites with files just as large and the movies play automatically. Also, these movies have the same extension -- "mov" so I don't think they're streaming either.
Finally, my movie was saved in Quicktime's "progressive download" scheme which is supposed to start playing while it downloads. Yet, again, this wasn't the case when the file was accessed publically.
How do I fix this?
