  Change MP4 streaming setting

  Posted by Aaron Kiersky on January 26, 2010 at 6:21 pm

  Hi all,

  A client we are working with gave me a MP4 (h264, medium vbr, aac 96kbps) which he set the streaming to “none”, instead of “fast start – compressed header” which is needed to buffer while playing in a flash video player.

  unfortunately there is not an uncompressed output from fcp that could be encoded to the mp4, so to me it seems like he will have to output from fcp again with the correct setting.

  am I correct to think this or is there a way to change the streaming options on a file without re-compressing?

  thanks!

  I think you can just open it in QT pro and then do a ‘Save As’, selecting fast start on the way…

  Hi Daniel,

  Thanks for the reply, Ive got quicktime pro Version 7.6.4, ‘save as’ just gives me the option to save as a self contained or reference movie, no options to change streaming options. I know export has the option, but then it would re-compress the video, which I don’t want.

  thanks,
