QT Preallocate and Flatten

[Reuben Martin]

According to grep -r fallocate ./* from the ffmpeg source tree, it does not preallocate. You might be able to do that manually using cvmkfile.

Seriously doubt it will flatten a QT file. (have never tried to do it though) That is a function that is very specific to Quicktime on Mac OS.

Thanks Ruben,

Looking at cvmkfile it appears it makes a file with data. Would it be possible to use cvmkfile and then have QT render a .mov into it?

Thanks
John

Don’t know. I’ve never use xsans volumes. Try it and see what happens.
