IE9 Waiting 7-10 seconds before starting to stream a video from Amazon S3

http://screencast.com/t/NKb9erVyd0

I'm using the Projekktor HTML5 video player. The video starts playing immediately in all browsers except for internet explorer. In developer tools IE shows a huge Wait time. What is this wait time and why does IE feel the need to waste 10 seconds of my user's life?

That MP4 has the index at the end of the file so Internet Explorer downloads the entire file before starting playback. I don't know why it does this, but you can run QTIndexSwapper on that MP4 to fix the problem.
