Optimize for network #8

Closed popmedic closed 12 years ago

popmedic commented 12 years ago

***Conclusion: Add a preference on the preference panel to optimize file for network streaming, default to OFF.


Should we add an option to the "Preference Panel" to "Optimize file for network streaming." and use the c function I used for your fixmoov application in Mp4Autotag to move the MOOV atom to the front for network optimization. If we add the option, should it be a default? Argument for it to be set by default is that I didn't even know that this is why my movies wouldn't stream well to my android tablets, which means others are not aware of this either. Could fix someones problem that they didn't even know they had, how awesome would that be??? Con is that it takes a coulpe seconds and longer on bigger files, so save WILL take longer.

Brilliant! I like the reuse of the code. It's like recycling.

Although I will personally turn ON this feature for my use, my vote would be "OFF" by default:

Also YOU'RE WELCOME for fixing your videos for android use (even though you did provide the code, hahaha).

I'll update the preference panel outline.

We need a 3rd person as a tie breaker. Do you want to just flip a coin? (yes I am serious).

no 3rd party, you are right, the argument of "it's like NOT asking for consent" has convinced me it must be off by default!

latest build impliments this feature needs testing.
