  • Or another question a little more precisely about your problem with the moov atom: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14946421/why-do-webkit-browsers-need-to-download-the-entire-html5-video-mp4-before-play/31340688#31340688 – Foaster Mar 20 '18 at 11:40

I thing very top line of html file ???? Please command your sample code of two or three lines –  Mar 20 '18 at 13:32
  • @ArunKumar the answer below the accepted one in the question quoted above has an actual command line example of how to invoke ffmpeg to achieve this. – Rudolfs Bundulis Mar 20 '18 at 19:03
  • An "atom" is part of what builds up a MP4 file format (which in turn is based on Quicktime where the term comes from). It's low-level related and if you don't want to parse the file yourself manually Foaster's link is your best bet to an easy fix. Let us know how it goes. –  Mar 20 '18 at 20:07
