2.对比分析
通过对比分析f-xx.mp4文件比xx.mp4文件多了moofbox，并且mdat文件体积约小一半
- moofbox，这个box是视频分片的描述信息。并不是MP4文件必须的部分，但在我们常见的可在线播放的MP4格式文件中（例如Silverlight Smooth Streaming中的ismv文件）确是重中之重。
附：Smooth Streaming中ismv文件结构，文件分为了多个Fragments，每个Fragment中包含moof和mdat。这样的结构符合渐进式播放需求。（mdat及其描述信息逐步传输，收齐一个Fragment便可播放其中的mdat）。- mdatbox，实际媒体数据。我们最终解码播放的数据都在这里面。
3.结论
也就是说f-xx.mp4包含moofbox更适合在线播放
4.总结及感受
- 首先拿到该任务的时候，感觉一头雾水，不知道如何下手（没有接触过视频业务）；正确的提问等于解决问题的一半，于是我想到了视频播放的原理是什么？
- 然后顺藤摸瓜找到了MP4文件格式的介绍，我觉得接触一个新东西，应该从上往下的学习会事半功倍，也就是先整体再局部的思路
- 最后通过对比找出它们的不同点，通过参考资料又挖掘出渐进式播放时什么意思？
- 综合一下我的感受就是，视频文件可以类比类比为HTML文件写的都是写配置文件，然后通过视频播放软件进行解析呈现给用户；而渐进式播放，类似于文件流操作，读出一点播放一点，提升用户体验
- 我也不知道分析的对不对，还望老师多多提点指教。另外，对于视频业务就是个门外汉，老师有什么资料可以分享的？
