Movies that are intended for streaming via QuickTime Streaming Server must be hinted—that is, they need a hint track for every streamable media track. The hint tracks tell the server exactly how to package the media data for the network.

Note: Not all media types can be streamed. QuickTime VR movies and Flash tracks will not stream and must be delivered locally (from a hard disk or LAN), so QuickTime VR and Flash tracks do not need hinting. All other media types do.
