how can I save a stream to mp4 file with mp4 hint info?
I have tested this command line :

vlc.exe -vvv --reset-config -I rc e:\movies\001001.mpg --sout=#transcode{venc=ffmpeg,vcodec=mp4v,vb=512,acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=standard{access=file,mux=mp4,url=d:\test.mp4}

the encoded file is really a mp4 file but without mpeg-4 hint info. whithout mp4 hint info, DSS can't stream it for VoD.

who have this kinds of experence shareing with me?
any help will be appreciated!

the mpeg4ip project have a tool to add hinting information to mp4 files. Take a look at that

BTW, does VLC prepair to support mp4 hinting (only when streaming to mp4 files) in the future?
