<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>hope this is not too of-topic, otherwise please redirect me where can I
post the question.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm using the x264 library to encode a video
for then stream it using a kind of progressive download.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I noticed that when opening the file the
decoder<FONT color=#010001 size=2> requires a large amount of data, up to
1.5 Mb when the file is 1h 30min, and that is proportional to the lenght of the
video.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#010001 size=2>Is there a way to avoid this preload,
or is it something necessary for the play of the video?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#010001 size=2>Or do you know if there's a way to
compress it to enable a fast start when streaming?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#010001>I think that's because the sample table box is
preloaded during the opening of the video, is that necessary for the
seeking?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#010001>I also noticed that using a High Profile instead of
Baseline increases this header around two times.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#010001></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#010001 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#010001 size=2>Thanks for any help on
that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#010001
size=2>Bye</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
