Hint Format Tab

The Hint Format tab allows you to specify the hinting format used for the hinted MPEG-4 file. Hinted MPEG-4 files are suitable for streaming from RTP/RTSP servers.

The supported hinting formats are:

  • Hint the entire file. This will hint the bifs and od streams in addition to the audio and video tracks in the file.
  • Hint only the audio and video tracks. The bifs and od stream streams will not be hinted.
  • Hint the audio and video tracks in ISMA format. The hinted MPEG-4 file is compatible for use with ISMA compliant devices. The tool supports adding both ISMA compliant media and other popular media content into a hinted MPEG-4 file. Note: although the tool allows the addition of other popular media types, other than just ISMA compliant media, in practice the use of such content is dependent on having available devices supporting such additional capabilities beyond the scope that ISMA defines for compliant interoperability. Check the device specifications with regards to additional popular media types.
  • Hint the audio and video tracks in 3GPP format. The hinted MPEG-4 file is compatible for use with 3GPP compliant devices.
