qt-faststart.c

/*
 * qt-faststart.c, v0.2
 * by Mike Melanson (melanson@pcisys.net)
 * This file is placed in the public domain. Use the program however you
 * see fit.
 *
 * This utility rearranges a Quicktime file such that the moov atom
 * is in front of the data, thus facilitating network streaming.
 *
 * To compile this program, start from the base directory from which you
 * are building FFmpeg and type:
 *  make tools/qt-faststart
 * The qt-faststart program will be built in the tools/ directory. If you
 * do not build the program in this manner, correct results are not
 * guaranteed, particularly on 64-bit platforms.
 * Invoke the program with:
 *  qt-faststart <infile.mov> <outfile.mov>
 *
 * Notes: Quicktime files can come in many configurations of top-level
 * atoms. This utility stipulates that the very last atom in the file needs
 * to be a moov atom. When given such a file, this utility will rearrange
 * the top-level atoms by shifting the moov atom from the back of the file
 * to the front, and patch the chunk offsets along the way. This utility
 * presently only operates on uncompressed moov atoms.
