README - QTHintMovies

A QuickTime movie that is to be streamed should
contain a "hint track" for each media track in 
the movie. A hint track contains information 
that assists the streaming server in the process 
of forming and timing network packets. These hint 
tracks essentially free the server from having to 
know the details of network protocols or 
media-specific codecs, thereby reducing run-time 
processing. This mechanism also allows the server 
to stream new codec and network protocol types 
without modification (once they can be hinted).

This sample code illustrates how to add hint 
tracks to a QuickTime movie. It illustrates 
several methods of doing this, and shows how 
to either display or not display the settings 
dialog box. 

Enjoy,
