/*
 * qt-faststart.c, v0.1
 * 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.
 *
 * Compile this program using:
 *  cc qt-faststart.c -o qt-faststart
 * 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.
