Thanks Mark ... After hinting the MP4 files using the MP4BOX and hosting at some remote location (like say hosting at dropbox) works fine. But still some of the files doesn't work. (in particular length more than 2mins track) So, my question is there any limit on the size/length of the video file like say it works for length 1min or 2mins tracks and those of greater than this length doesn't work.
what is the MOOV and mdat atoms ?? what is the difference ?? how to recognize it ?? If someone has some good site links please share.
