[Live-devel] Example of a streamable mp4 file

At present, yes.

Not right now.  (The only real reason for this is that there currently 
isn't a 'framer' filter for MPEG-4 (AAC) audio, but one would probably be 
fairly easy to write.)

Yes, it's 'possible', but this is new code that would need to be written.

One easy way to generate a MPEG-4 video elementary stream file that can be 
streamed by "testMPEG4VideoStreamer" (or "testOnDemandRTSPServer") is to 
find a MPEG-4 RTSP stream, and run the "openRTSP" test program to record 
it.  "openRTSP" will write out a file named "video-<something>".  You can 
then rename this file to "test.m4v".

However, I have also put online an example of such a file that you can use 
for testing
         http://www.live.com/test.m4v
(This file is ~5.8 MBytes in size.  I will remove it in a few days.)
