Prepare ('Hint') for Streaming Server
If you are preparing a streaming QuickTime file, you must check the Prepare ('Hint') for
Streaming Server box. The Options button enables the Hint Exporter Settings dialog.
Make Movie Self-Contained — Makes streaming movies self-contained.
Optimize Hints for Server — Increases the number of viewers the server can support, but also
increases the file size.
Video and Audio Track Hinter Settings — Click these buttons to access the Hint Track Settings
dialogs. Do not change these settings unless you have specialized knowledge of the compressor
used and your network parameters.
Compress Movie Header
QuickTime enables you to compress the information (called the header) stored at the beginning
of a movie. Compressing this information may reduce the total size of the file and improve
performance when viewed online. Very long files benefit most from header compression.
