To export a QuickTime movie as a hinted movie:
1
Open QuickTime Player on a Mac OS or Windows computer. (You must have QuickTime Pro
to do this.)
2
Open the media file you want to hint.
3
Choose Export from the File menu.
4
Choose “Movie to Hinted Movie” from the pop-up menu, then type a new filename.
5
Click Options in the export dialog box.
6
Select Optimize Hints For Server. This is optional. It improves the server’s ability to stream to
more clients but can double the size of the file.
7
Click OK.
8
Click Save.
Step 2: Copy the Media File to Your Darwin Streaming Server
Be sure to copy the file into the directory you’re using for streaming.
Streaming Media Files With Multiple Sources
QuickTime movies often consist of content from several media files. For example, a video
clip might be combined with music from one or more CD tracks. When you export a
QuickTime movie, you should make it a “self-contained” file so that it includes all the source
media. This improves server performance.
To stream movies that are not self-contained, in addition to hinting, you must
m copy all the files needed by the movie to the same folder or directory
m store all the files in the directory on your server that you specified as the Movies
Directory in Darwin Streaming Admin
