If you alter a hinted movie in any way, such as cutting, pasting,
re-arranging tracks, etc. then you must re-export as a hinted movie in
order for the file to stream correctly via RTSP.

This isn't my week for QuickTime.
I just hit a very serious bug and have a reproducible crash from QT in
Safari, IE/Mac, and IE/Win! Three browsers (possibly more), two
platforms.
We used QTB archiving to create files for later casting.
Today I went in and trimmed some dead air from the beginning of them in
QuickTime Player Pro (select segment, Edit | Clear) and then did File
| Save
As | Self Contained onto our streaming server.
When the files are accessed through QT plugin via rtsp (seemingly in
any
browser, any platform), the buffer negotiation starts looping --
4,3,2,4,3,2,4,3,2 and then the browser crashes.
I can also crash QT Player itself by accessing the RTSP stream
directly.
Ouch.
After some experimentation, I found that if I removed the two hint
tracks
in QT Player and then exported Movie to Hinted Movie (recreating the
hint
track) the crash went away.
In other words, you can't edit an already hinted movie and use it on
QTSS
without crashing QT player and plugin, Mac or Windows.
Is this a known issue? If so, is there something I can do short of
recreating hint tracks in all of these movies?
