Interleaving Movie Data

get optimal movie playback, you must create the movie with interleaved data. The data for the movie is placed on disk in time order so the video, sound, and other data for a particular time in the movie are close together in the file.

In order to overcome any latencies in sound playback, at least one second of sound data is placed at the beginning of the interleaved data. This means that the sound and video data are offset from each other in the file by one second
