[FFmpeg-user] Obtaining to mp4 files for HbbTV

[Joan Roqué]

After regarding the ffmpeg manual (17.6
MOV/MP4/ISMV<http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#toc-MOV_002fMP4_002fISMV>)
and googleing on that issue, I can answer myself now.
The problem was that some Set Top Boxes needs the Metadata allocated at the
beginning of the file =)
Thats why using qt-faststart or MP4Box resolves this problem.

Thanks
