Note: You will need a copy of QuickTime Pro to export movies. QuickTime Pro is a registered (uncrippled) version of QuickTime Player.
Create files for RTSP/HTTP "Hinted" streaming and/or HTTP "Fast Start" streaming.
RTSP/HTTP "Hinted" streaming:
Use the former when you want a true streaming of the movies to the user using the RTSP or HTTP protocols. This format send data in a format called "UDP" which commonly does not work with firewall hardware/software. If that is the case, give your movie listeners/watchers the second option, too.
HTTP "Fast Start" downloading:
Allows Quicktime to retrieve the file via the HTTP server instead of the QuickTime Streaming server. Without the "Fast Start" option, the user would have to wait until the entire download has occurred to begin listening/watching the movie. With "Fast Start", the movie plays while the download is still continuing.
