This is what I found, it look like you can only do it for .mp4 files

This narnia.mp4 file should now be playable with any QuickTime 7 application, such as QuickTime Player or iTunes. If you are planning to view the video in a web browser with the QuickTime plugin, you should also hint the movie so that the QuickTime plugin can start playing it while it is still downloading. mp4creator can create these hint tracks:

mp4creator -hint=1 narnia.mp4
mp4creator -hint=2 narnia.mp4
mp4creator -optimize narnia.mp4
You can check the final result to ensure that the hint tracks were created successfully:

mp4creator -list narnia.mp4
You should see a list of tracks: 1 audio, 1 video, and 2 hint tracks.

Track Type Info
1 audio MPEG-4 AAC LC, 8548.714 secs, 190 kbps, 48000 Hz
2 video H264 Main@5.1, 8549.132 secs, 899 kbps, 848x352 @ 23.976001 fps
3 hint Payload mpeg4-generic for track 1
4 hint Payload H264 for track 2

cool


<--will see if his MEncoder front-end has an option or will do it using the CLI

Thanks
