When streaming MPEG-4 video, the code has to do an initial 
open,read,close on the input file - to get stream-specific 
configuration information - before it does the subsequent open,read* 
to actually stream the file.  Therefore, your input device needs to 
be able to handle the close operation, followed by an open.
