Hinting using ffmpeg

Description

Please do not kill me for asking for a feature. It seems that everyone is using mp4box to hint the file for progressive playback after ffmpeg.

It is a simple feature request, why ffmpeg does not have hinting capabilities to avoid using yet another tool?

Thank you.

Did you test the -movflags rtphint option?
Is it what you are searching for? If not, what is the difference?

Thank you for the "hint", I did not know about the flag. How do I check if hint tracks are added? Thank you.

Replying to vkroutik:

How do I check if hint tracks are added?

I have absolutely no idea, but since you requested the feature I would have expected you to know?

comment:4 by Vlad SD, 11 years ago

Ah, here is a tool which shows that file has hint tracks:

Do I understand correctly that there is no problem and I can close the ticket?

yes, please close it, your hinting as good as mp4box, I wish it was documented somewhere.

Searching for "hint" in "ffmpeg -h full" only shows this option: Where else did you search?

I added -movflags rtphint to the mov muxer documentation.
