You can open the file and do a command J and see if there are hint
tracks.
It would seem that an applescript could be created for that.
Also, I was able to compress some video down to about 50 KBps and
still have it look really nice using 3ivx. They ended up at 22 MB.
After I hinted the files, they ballooned to 41 MB. Because of this I
assumed the streaming data rate would not be around 50 KBps but 100.
However, I noticed that the incoming data rate on the client machine
was around 40-60 KBps so the balloonage of the file's data rate may
only apply to how the server sends the original 50KBps. Not 100%
sure but I think so.

Hello all.
Sorry if I ask basic questions as this is my first streaming
experience from a web developer standpoint. I am developing a site
for a customer that needs streaming audio and video. They have mov,
mp3 and wmv files. I understand that the wmv files cannot be
streamed with Darwin. I am getting 415 errors with the other two
formats. The host uploaded a different mov file to the site and
streaming worked.
Checking in the documentation I found that the files need to be
hinted and that no compression should have been used on the files
in order to stream correctly.
The question...Is there a way that I can check the file itself to
confirm that it has been hinted before uploading the file and
having it fail? I have in mind confirming:
1) that the files I have from my customer have not been hinted
properly
2) checking when the file is uploaded that it is properly prepped
for streaming before it "goes live"
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
