To be honest I'm not sure. I'm kinda learning the MP4 container format on the fly as I do this. If all the seek information is already contained in the moov section and the offsets are relative to the whole file then yes, I can just ensure we parse the full file before playback and seek back to the start of the first mdat when we start playing. The real test will be having some good test files that people can't currently play and using that prove we have covered all the corner cases. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ CV: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/cv.php
