Hinting is an encoding process of providing "hints" for better compression and decompression. Quicktime hints are only going going to be useful when streaming to the Quicktime player. I don't believe Flash Player or Flash Media Server uses the Quicktime hinting track.
Moving the moov atom (which I was talking about) refers to relocating some metadata from the end of the file to the beginning, so that the whole file doesn't need to be completely loaded before it will play.
You'll know if the moov atom is in the right spot if you get the file onto your server and all your users have to download all two or five or whatever minutes of the video before playback starts.
