Description
Please do not kill me for asking for a feature. It seems that everyone is using mp4box to hint the file for progressive playback after ffmpeg.
It is a simple feature request, why ffmpeg does not have hinting capabilities to avoid using yet another tool?
Thank you.

Thank you for the "hint", I did not know about the flag. How do I check if hint tracks are added? Thank you.

Replying to vkroutik:
How do I check if hint tracks are added?
I have absolutely no idea, but since you requested the feature I would have expected you to know?

Ah, here is a tool which shows that file has hint tracks:

Do I understand correctly that there is no problem and I can close the ticket?
comment:6 Changed 4 months ago by vkroutik
yes, please close it, your hinting as good as mp4box, I wish it was documented somewhere.

Searching for "hint" in "ffmpeg -h full" only shows this option: Where else did you search?
Did you test the -rtphint option?
Is it what you are searching for? If not, what is the difference?
