title: HTML5 <video> element - buffering size, starting video quickly
body: <p>is there any way we can specify the buffering data size for the  element? Is it somewhere specified how much data/seconds the browser needs to buffer? </p>
  
  <p>I am asking because we need to make the video shown as soon as possible, even if that means cutting the buffer size to absolute minimum...</p>
  
  <p>We do not use any streaming protocol (e.g. HLS). It is simple progressive download of a large video file...</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
