What information is missing? It's very weird that the very end of a file should be required to play all the rest of it.
It's very frustrating that we can't play incomplete/partial video files .. ie. that we have to wait for the entire download to complete in order to see anything.
Not possible, the information necessary to play the files is just not there.
Using http://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk/qt-faststart.c?view=markup on the complete file will make it playable even when incomplete later on.
