Streaming MPEG4
|
||||||
|
---------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For streaming to work properly (read: at all), MPEG4 files must be optimized;
|
||||||
|
this means, among other things, that the metadata are located at the beginning
|
||||||
|
of the file, rather than at the end.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Files produced by iTunes are always optimized by default. Files produced by
|
||||||
|
FAAC and a lot of other encoders are not.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The mp4creator tool from the mpeg4ip suite can be used to optimize MPEG4 files,
|
||||||
|
with the -optimize option:
|
||||||
|
$ mp4creator -optimize foo.m4a
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Don't forget to make a backup copy of your file, just in case.
