Mike,
I can't say for sure what is causing your problems in QT, but I CAN
recommend using a pretty inexpensive program called VisualHub to do your
H.264 hinting encodes. This is what we use here at GVSU with a Darwin
Streaming Server (the open source version of QTSS) and I've not had a file
that failed to stream in a long time.

Hello Mike,
This might help...
When you're creating the hinted movie in QT Pro, make sure you have set the hint
exporter settings to hint both the video track and the audio track.
Do File > Export...
Select Export: Movie to Hinted Movie and click Options
Make sure both the H.264 Video and MPEG-4 Audio Sound boxes are checked (as well
as Make Movie Self-Contained)
Click OK then save the hinted movie and copy it to the streaming server.
I've successfully streamed h.264 videos with the process you described so if
this suggestion doesn't help please contact me off-list and we can compare
settings.
Thanks,
mike

Mike,
I've asked my digital media expert, Jarom McDonald, about your VLC
issue. Here is his response:
The VLC problem is most likely due to the fact that they're running
VLC 0.8.6h, but don't yet have Leopard 10.5.4 installed (so they
should either upgrade Leopard or downgrade VLC).

> You can't use VLC in newer Macs. See Chris Breen's article on this in

The statement above is rather misleading. VLC works fine with newer
and older Macs, and plays video just as it was designed to do. The
problem for those of us who want to watch foreign language DVDs begins
with the content conspiracy's Region Coding system, and ends with the
type of DVD drives (Matsushita) used in many Macs, along with many PCs.
These drives prevent the software solutions that are possible with
other drives. VLC neither causes nor solves the problem with these
drives. VLC can be part of a software solution for other DVD drives.
This is all covered at the URL provided above, particularly in the
comments section.
