[Live-devel] DSS streamed .mov files and live.com

I think you may be missing the point of 'hinting' files.  This is something 
that is done to a file only to make it streamable from a DSS/QTSS, and it 
affects only the server.  It has no effect on RTSP *clients*; they don't 
know or care whether or not the stream comes from a hinted file.

RTSP clients - as always - access a stream using a "rtsp://" URL.  RTSP 
clients that use the "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" code - e.g., "openRTSP", 
"VLC", "MPlayer" - use this URL to open and play the stream.  Once again, 
this has nothing to do with 'hinting', which affects only the server (and 
only if the server is a DSS/QTSS).
